Sunny zoo trip in March!

Early this month we lucked out with some fabulous warm and sunny weather. Of course being the NW people we are, we jumped on the chance to get out and enjoy it and the zoo! Justin took an afternoon off and away we went.

We lucked out and the Cougars were REALLY close!

Jack really liked the penguins...here he is waiting for it to come swim by.

Checking each other out.

He just looks so soft and cuddly!

We also lucked out with the lions being right at the window as well but that picture is on my phone. I think because we went in the afternoon it was almost feeding time by the time we saw them and they were ready to eat, Jack was just about the size for an appetizer!

Cloudy day fun!

We took our friends to the zoo with us on Monday and had a great time. Since it was cloudy and a bit damp we pretty much had the place to ourselves and the animals were keeping us entertained!

Being Spontaneous!

Yesterday I got a wild hair to take a quick trip to the zoo with little man. Since it was just the two of us we packed light, which with a 20 month old is a novelty, and left just after lunch.

Jack wasn't quite as excited about the sea lions. They were rather large as they swim past you in the window. I got lots of hugs at this stop! :)

We couldn't resist sharing an ice cream cone to finish off a fun trip!

Guess who enjoyed it the most! :)

Love this little guy!

We couldn't pass up checking out the dinosaur. Jack's new favorite book is about Dinosaurs and he can read the first two pages himself now we've read it so much! So seeing this guy was non-negotiable!

I think he had fun!

First Day of Summer

I know, I know...its been over a month since I last posted anything! This was due largely in part to my computer motherboard kicking the can. Then add in catching up on work, planning my sisters bridal shower and just everyday stuff, well here we are!

Its definitely too much time to cover in one post so I will just share some pictures from our outing to the zoo yesterday in celebration of the first day of SUMMER! The weather cooperated nicely and we had sun and 85 degree temperature. We met up with some friends and had a picnic, watched a show and took a ride on the train!

Hugs!


And kisses...almost!

Jack and mommy

Well I'm looking forward to catching you up on our lives here. Hope all is well!

Sunshine!

Friday was a day full of sun here in the northwest! Thank you Jesus for small blessings! We made the most of it and headed out to the zoo, as we were getting ready to leave Justin surprised me by getting off work early to join us. This was his first time to the zoo with Jack and I and it was the sweetest surprise. However it is also spring break and apparently EVERYONE had the same idea of a day at the zoo. Once we finally got parked and in though it didn't matter. Jack was having the time of his life sitting up on dads shoulders to get a birdseye view of all the animals.

This face was made the whole time, it was hilarious, he kept saying "wow" over and over much to the amusment of passing strangers.

If you look closely in the background you can see a wild african dog, most of the animals were also enjoying the sunshine and energetic as a result!

After we got home to the farm we had to check on the chickens in their new coop and make sure they were doing well. Jack and Henry take their new chore seriously.

So far the chicks seems to be enjoying the increased living space and have been stretching their wings a bit as they attempt to fly. Can you see how much they've grown? I can't believe it. All in all we had a most fabulous day enjoying the sun and some good family time together.

Happy Sabbath!
