Besides being a little under the weather this weekend it was a wonderful one! Friday we started it out with dinner here:
I had one of the best filets, it took all I had not to lick my plate and ask for more haha. We had dessert at Orange Leaf, the amazing self serve yogurt place by our house. I could live there.
Saturday we spent most of the day relaxing and lounging around the house since we both were battling colds. That night we headed off to the UTEP basketball game, they were honoring all service members since it was military night. We had a blast!! Even though they lost we had a great and thanks to a mix up we even got free tickets to next Saturdays game as well.

Sunday morning I woke up with the most awful upset stomach and I really thought it was the flu but as the day went on I was feeling better. I think it may have been caused from all the coughing I was doing. I feel great now. I wanted to take advantage of feeling good so we headed off to the El Paso Zoo, finally!! We had a blast, it took us about 2 hours to walk the whole thing and they had so many amazing animals.
These 3 giraffes were hilarious they kept head butting each other.

this spider monkey dropped her food in the water to soften it, she was so smart!
seriously how cute is this meerkat!?!?!
this orangutan was so funny, he would not go anywhere without this burlap sack.
After we left the zoo we had lunch at Taco Cabana and did some shopping at the Super Target (will start doing my grocery shopping there from now on!!).
We settled in for the night to watch the Grammy's and Kyle made mandarin chicken, broccoli and rice for dinner. Such a good man!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Looks like a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt really was. :)
DeleteAh, I have been wanting to go to a zoo! ha
ReplyDeleteLooks like the zoo was fun! I'll have to keep that in mind the next time we drive back home to Texas. It looks like great place to stop and let the kids run off some energy!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun and we were really impressed. :)
DeleteI love going to the zoo!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun weekend! They had baby lions at the Washington D.C zoo a few years ago and I used to love to go see them.
ReplyDeleteLucky woman! My husband rarely cooks for anyone but himself.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a lot of fun! I love self serve yogurt places. The zoo is one of my fav places to go to in the summer. Cannot wait for warmer weather. Hope your week is as good as your weekend has been.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a fun weekend! Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling good now. The basketball and the zoo look fun. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry for feeling under the weather, but yay for a great weekend!!

ReplyDeleteSo I guess asking to adopt that kitty cat is out of the question?
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend! So glad you're feeling better and got to enjoy the awesome animals at the zoo. I love the orangutan picture! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely in love with Target! We don't have a Super Target anywhere near us, so I'm like in total awe when I see one...it's so dang sad! Haha :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! That's not sad. I hadn't been to a Super Target in years and I'm in heaven haha. :)
DeleteYour zoo looks fun! We haven't been to the zoo in forever. I need to wait for it to warm up first.
