A Zoo Day

I took the kids to the zoo since we hadn't been in a while. There are a few changes there. They have lots of new gardens, the lion exhibit is being built and they have kangaroos now. Oh, and the train is running. So of course we had to do that.

I told Kailyn about herbivores and carnivores the other day while talking about dinosaurs and teeth, and we got on to other animals too, so I was asking her today what she thought each animal was and why. She remembered!

On the train.

Me and B on the train.

All of us on the train.

The train station. (from the train as we were about to pull back in)

It's a scale model of a steam engine.

Riding a turtle.

Bren was loving the goats.

Kailyn took this of me feeding the goat.

Moooo!

The big pig.. asleep as always.

Meercats.

The cutest little fox in the world.

I tried to zoom in on the one giraffe with his head in the tree... he was sticking his tongue way out to get to the leaves high up. But the pictures were all blurry.

Lunchtime! Chicken tenders, apples and fries.

Riding a rhino!

The people next to us were feeding the goose goldfish crackers.. when they left it came sniffing around our table.

Rainbow dippin' dots.

On the butterfly bench in the butterfly garden.

All of us..

We saw 1 butterfly and about 10 honey bees or bumble bees... lol

Kangaroos!

Awww.. Lovin' on his giraffe.

Of course what would a day at the zoo be without cooling off in the fountains.

Fun times!

Another new trick!

My boy has been busy these last few weeks. He mastered sitting up, he started crawling, he learned to sit himself up when he was laying down, he cut a tooth, and now this!




Here he is in the act!

Just a bunch of randomness

Been taking pictures of stuff and thought I would throw them out here for daddy to see. And anyone else...

hehe Yeah, I posed him.. LOVE these jammies.

I was getting them some milk and Brennan was throwing a fit because I walked away from feeding him, so Ashton took pity on him.

Then Kailyn took a turn.. She WAS better at getting it in his mouth... lol

Got haircuts today (8-10) I took pictures of Kailyn cause hers is shorter, but he wanted me to take his picture to.

Back of Kailyn's new do...

Side...

Front..

Brennan's first tooth. His bottom left. Not too clear, but it's there.

Coast Guard Day

We went to Coast Guard Day last Saturday (the 1st) and a friend took some pictures for us since I forgot the camera.

Ashton with his pirate smiley.

Balloon swords from the clowns.

Kailyn got a Hello Kitty on her arm. she didn't want her to do it in her face.

Jumping in one of the jumpy things. There were 4 or 5 of them there.

It was HOT!! They had these mis stationes set up so you could go stand in them and I was dumping water on his head the whole time. He drank some out the bottle too. It was cute.

Mum Mum Yum!

Brennan had his first Mum Mum the other day (7-29). For anyone who doesn't know, they are like really big flat rice crispies. They melt easy and are a good first snack for the little ones. He usually puts anything I give him right in his mouth (toys) so I figured he would figure it out easy enough, but when I gave it to him he just sat there holding it. The look on his face was comical, like "mom.. you call this a toy?" But once I showed him what it was for he figured it out real fast and ate it up.
