Marshall turns four today! We decided to take the kids to the zoo to mark the occasion but it looks like we got rained out. It stormed all last night but this morning I could actually see the sun in spots so we decided to head down into to Houston. It started raining pretty hard about 30 minutes after we got there. We saw the elephants and giraffes but all the other animals were in their hidy holes. Rob and I told ourselves we were going to have fun no matter what today and I would like to think we accomplished that. We got the kids rain coats at Target on the way and made the best of it. The big boys got to run around in the rain and the babies were pretty good also. We stopped and had lunch under a pavilion and watched it rain for awhile while the babies got out and played. We then made a run for the reptile house and aquarium so the kids could see some wildlife.
After leaving the zoo, we located the nearest Starbucks for some hot chocolate and made our way back to Katy. It was a wet soggy day but it turned out fun!
My little marshmallow is four. I know it is cliched but I feel like I just had him yesterday! He has had a big year with a lot of firsts for him. He became a big brother this year which was a new role for him. He does a great job loving on his little brothers and playing with them. He played soccer and was really good once he got over his initial "shyness." He is also just started playing t-ball and is really liking it. He is special little guy, so sweet. It is bittersweet to see him growing out of his toddler years and into a big boy but I also can't wait to see the big boy he becomes!
