On the Day Before Kindergarten....

Despite the fact that Smart Flint Goldenswrod begins Kindergarten tomorrow, Kim and I thought it would be fun to take the boys on a trip to Vallejo and visit Discovery Kingdom. Yes, folks, we each get the "Mother of the Year" award. And we are proud of it...the boys had a wonderful time and we were all home in time for a (real)dinner.

We began our visit with some traditional clownin' around....



Next up, a bengal tiger....



And the boys sat in awe of said tiger:



A visit to Discovery Kingdom is not complete without witnessing the acrobatic acts of Shouka, the killer whale. Here, she models her jumping technique as well as a special back flip she did just for us:



Mother of the Year #1:


Mother of the Year #2:


The boys foud it pretty hilarious to sit under the hand dryer after they went to the bathroom and washed their hands....


Discovery Kingdom has an entire section of the park dedicated to Thomas the Train. Although neither one of these boys has touched their trains in months, we spent an hour there with some "peeps" from Sodor.

In line waiting for Thomas the Train:


Harold:

Bertie:


Water fun....



As we were walking away from Thomas Town, the boys encountered Tweety and Sylvester dancing:


This is their imitation of them:



And here they are in some sort of conspiracy tactic....



We also watched a pirate and sea lion show:



Candids:



And to cement our status as recepients of the "Mother of the Year" award, this is what we gave them for dinner:


Yup. That's right...cotton candy, dippin' dots, and popcorn. Oh, and not pictured here was the dinner Kim and I had: funnel cakes.

We're awesome.

Kindergarten tomorrow morning should be smooth sailing.
