What a day!

Apology in advance about the lack of formatting in this post!  I'm still trying to figure out this new format of posting and don't understand the seemingly lack of consistency in the format!  Sorry!

We had a very busy but very fun day!  It began with going to Faith's final ballet class for this spring session.  Since it was the last class, the parents were able to watch, which is always a highlight!  And it was enjoyable to see how much she has improved in her dancing since beginning ballet this past January. 

Here is an action shot - I'm not the most skilled photographer, so those action shots are always a bit lacking!

This is a shot from their big song and dance at the end of the class called "Baby Take a Bow".  Faith knew the words to the song along with all the dance moves.  The girls next to her are trying to keep up!!

Upon finishing ballet, we made the trek up to the Santa Barbara Zoo for the preschool field trip.  It's always a highlight to go to the zoo, but there was extra excitement as we also brought  lunch to have a picnic with some school friends.  Many of the animals cooperated and were in great viewing positions - one of the lions was not only walking around, but also displayed some roaring action for us!  And a gorilla also put on a show that Shane in particular thought was hilarious!

Besides seeing the animals, a good trip to the zoo always needs to include some time at the play area.  Shane loves running up and down the hill!

Here is a glimpse at our picnic lunch with some friends.  There was a large group from the school all picnicking together!

And if ballet and the zoo was not enough for one day, we also managed to squeeze in haircuts after Shane's nap.  The kids love having their hair cut - the haircut lady has great toys!

Shane is not only showing off his freshly cut hair, but also getting into the sunglasses!  He's always into something!

Faith was aiding in the sunglass heist!

And finally, almost bed time, but Shane had to do his new "upside down" move, wearing cowboy boats and all!!  Such a character!
