** Three Day Weekend**

Friday we had our first snow for this school year!! I was surprised since I hadn't listened to the weather, and they didn't put us on a two hour delay first!!

Addison and Ayla were supposed to go to Grandma Beth and Grandpa John's!! We went down earlier since we were supposed to get bad weather again Friday night.  We met at the Boondocks a little restaurant in McConnelsville that has been on the Food Network.( I think thats the show)  It was very good!! Addison and Ayla had a great weekend, they played in the snow and played in Grandpa's garage.  Addison practiced football and basketball he said, he brought home this gorgeous gold bald eagle he found in Grandpa's garage to hang up in his room...  Grandma brought them back today and met us at church, Addison and Ayla sang in Children's Choir, they did a wonderful job!!!! 

Saturday night Adam and I went to the Wilds holiday party, this year it was combined with Zoombezi Bay, Columbus Zoo and the Zoo Golfcourse.  It was at the Hilton in Polaris and was very nice.  There were 30 people from the Wilds and 350 from the zoo.  So needless to say we didn't know many people!! Jack Hanna and his wife Susie were there along with their daugher Julie, she also works at the zoo and she stayed until the end.  We got to visit more with Jack last year at the little Wilds party, this is the first time I had ever seen Jack out of his khaki outfit,  we had to dress up pretty to go to this fancy party!!  There is talk with some of the zoo people that they may go ahead and have a party with just the Wilds.  They had tons of really nice door prizes to win and they had casino games and dancing.  We had to stay the very end to win a door prizes.... so we did and we won a $15 gift card to Sugardaddy's......we really didn't need that TV anyway.....hahaha..  We hope the Wilds continues to grow and get bigger, Jack talked about how small the zoo used to be and how the budget has changed from them until now... so we can only pray that happens with the Wilds.  This was the best year ever at the Wilds for attendance, it was also best year for the Zoo and Zoombezi bay!! 

I slacked on the pictures this weekend but we had a wonderful weekend!!  I am not sure I am leaving the kids for a very long time...... 2 nights is a bit much for me!!!!!!!!!
