Vans, Tents, Lions....Oh MY!

Well, we had a busy weekend.

On Friday we picked up our brand-spankin' new Honda Odyssey mini-van. Yep, we have officially joined the ranks of mini-van owners. We had to do it, as: a) the lease on the Forrester expired and we needed a second car; and b) with kiddo number 3 on the way, there are very few options for cars that can comfortably fit three car seats. The boys were over the moon excited about the new wheels, and Aidan loves to talk about how when the baby comes he gets to sit in the back seat by himself!

On Saturday night Aidan and I 'camped out' in the basement. He's been begging me to camp in the backyard, so I convinced him that we should start out in the basement and if that went OK we can camp in the backyard afterwards. We successfully slept downstairs - well, I'm not sure either of us slept very well, but we made it through the night. Aidan LOVED it! Now, I have to hold up my end of the bargain and camp out in the back yard - oh joy! Here's a pick of the two boys monkeying around in the tent:


On Sunday we went back to the Detroit zoo. I took full advantage of testing out the new camera and was pretty pleased with the pictures:
