While the Dad has been gone...

We've enjoyed many trips to the parks in the neighborhood.

I helped make some flower cookies for Girls Camp. 

 Ryan apparently needs some pants that fit him.

Ryan gave himself a really good shiner on the stairs.

We took a couple days off from going out in public until the swelling went down.

It was bad.

We got slowed down on our way to the zoo.

We didn't let spilled logs ruin our plans for the day.

I had enough snacks to keep the boys happy until we got there.

We made sure to see the new display of sting rays.

The boys were excited to get to touch those creatures gliding by. 

"Pete" greeted us again as we came in.

The friendliest peacock you'll ever see. 

My new favorite animal-the walrus.

Ryan was pretty impressed with these guys too.

Just amazingly huge. 

Mr. Polar Bear is hard to see with the glare from the glass, but he was out walking around for us.

The boys were being goofy the entire time. 

I was there too having a great time with my boys! 

While John was gone, Tate turned into

Tate..."Prince of the Ant Blanket"

 

We miss John, but are so happy he is liking his new job!

Thirty one more days.
