This morning was Jacob's field trip with his preschool class. We went to the 577 Foundation in Perrysburg (http://www.577foundation.org/). The preschool offers childcare for younger siblings during class field trips, which is nice and Kendall loves. Usually, there are one or two other classmates there from her 3 year old class. The field trip was interesting...Jacob liked watching the honey bees behind glass and touching a bear skin in an old log cabin.

It was such a beautiful day that I decided on a whim (well, after a neighbor called me on the cell to come join them) to take the kids to the zoo. I didn't pack lunch or a stroller...we were just winging it! Many other people must have had the same idea....I parked only 3 cars from the VERY end of the zoo parking lot. I've never had to park that far out. Kendall did good with all the walking. We were just about heading out when Mark called me. Here he decided to take a 1/2 day off work and wondered where in the world we were...it was about 1:40 by now.

So, we headed home and we all went to a countertop shop who was advertising selling all their remnant pieces "Friday and Saturday only." They had a lot of inventory...even had enough to do the majority of the bar/snack bar. However, it was all quartz and granite....still much too expensive for our budget.
