This weekend

Well I guess people do like reading about Zoey. Imagine that!

This weekend was great. Any Calgarians know that the weather was beautiful. On Saturday, Matt worked earl, so I took Zoey in the new BOB and ran to Eau Claire to meet a friend and see her new condo. I snapped this gem and made myself (and K when I sent it to her) squeal.
Poor little readhead, destined to be pale forever
Matt met us after work and we had brunch at 1886. I think the last time I was there was when Taylor was a baby, and she's now 8. Oh dear.

On Sunday we went to the model train show! Cue the excitement! (not). I expected to be bored out of my mind, but I was mildly entertained. It was beautiful again, so we hung out outside at the beginning while I got some kettle corn.

We then entered the madness and I got a little overwhelmed with people and strollers.  There were some cool exhibits and while I was not so into it, Matt and Zoey had fun.



Today I met up with a friend and her baby and we hit the Zoo! I've been a few times since the penguin exhibit came to town but each time the wait was far too long.  Since Zoey really doesn't care about penguins, it's hard to justify waiting.  Today we got there early enough that the wait was minimal, so we decided to see them.  It was a really neat thing to see, that's for sure. It was cold and fishy in there, and Zoey liked watching them swim and jump around.  She probably would have liked watching squirrels jump around too, but oh well.

Any excuse to put her in this hat is worth it.

The Zoo was packed full of mums and young kids. I forget that other people stay home with their kids, not just people with babies under 1.  There were so many pregnant women with what seemed like 5 kids each.  Oye.  We had lots of conversations about how many kids we wanted and when to have the next etc.  It's crazy to think that is what our "hot topics" are these days.  Our kids definitely aren't old enough to take full advantage of the Zoo, but it is nice to have a change of scenery when walking and talking.  I think getting a Zoo pass was worth it this year, even with Zoey being young.

I was happy to have three great runs last week, totaling around 25 km.  I am feeling a little more confidant leading up to the half at the end of May!

How was your weekend?


*And yes, she wore her jean jacket and hat every day this weekend.  It's too cute to handle.

Weekend was a typical one for me as P was working Saturday until a stupid hour. But we went to Ikea on Sunday and got a new lamp that we now hate! Woo?!?

She is too cute in that hat and jean jacket! I just bought A a couple hats like that- need to protect their delicate skin!

We have tried going to the Zoo twice and both times it either rained or snowed! Hopefully we will get there soon.
