Weekend Fun...

Or really Saturday fun. Took the girls to the South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for their second open house [of the year]. Here workers/volunteers bring out all the injured wildlife rescued from the South Plains area. They have multiple owls and birds, a fox, a bobcat, and even a possum. We got to see baby squirrels being nurtured since falling out of their nests and a very sleepy prairie dog. Of course, Sophie's favorites were there...Huey and Jasper [or "Jaspert"] the owls. It was reassuring to see that most of the injured animals we saw earlier this year were already rehabilitated and delivered back to the wild.


[Bobby the bobcat...]


[One of Sophie's fav's, Huey....]


[Oh so sleepy, Charlie...]

Then, the evening took us to the POLAR EXPRESS!! [Or "Polar Fress"] Sophie was so anxious the entire trip waiting patiently to see Santa and his elf's. She talked to almost everyone who asked her about Christmas and what she wanted Santa to bring her. Charlie was pretty excited during the trip also...so much so, she talked herself to sleep.


[Seeing Santa's elf's climb aboard...]




[Couldn't wait for Santa any longer...]


[Getting nervous, Santa is approaching...but so excited to tell him she wants a bike for Christmas!...]

It's moments like these today that make parenthood so wonderful. Now we are anxiously awaiting CHRISTMAS!!!



Hope everyone has a great day!
