Where To Wednesday: Rainy Day Outing

We have had a whole lot of rain the past few weeks. I made the mistake of telling Maggie we were heading to the zoo before checking the forecast. She woke up Monday morning very excited for a trip to see the animals and it was pouring outside. Due to the weather, we have been stuck inside quite a bit lately, so we were running out of things to do. We decided to brave the storm….
Maggie would not stop talking about animals & wanting the zoo so we went to the next best place (or the next best place in the rain) Petco! She was so excited. If your kids like animals & you need to burn an hour take them over to a pet store. We saw birds, guinea pigs, snakes, ferrets, lizards, mice & a ton of fish. The employees are really good with kids & taught Maggie some great stuff about the animals. She didn’t want to leave. Alex was in the Bjorn & also enjoyed it – especially the fish! Then we walked over to the dog aisle & I let Maggie pick out a treat for our dog. It was a great rainy day activity!

After that we stopped at BJs Wholesale Club. I have never been a member there, but Julie & I went last week & signed up for a free 2 month trial. After my trip there with the kids, I might be joining for the year – they have TWO SPOTS in the front of their shopping carts. That’s right, you don’t have to push one of those massive race car or space ships carts just to have two seats. You can push a normal cart around with your who little kiddies side by side. Maybe you all have seen this before but it was a first for our crew. It made our shopping trip a lot of fun.
