More New Friends...

We have definitely put our zoo pass to good use this summer. This time we were brave enough to take two toddlers to the "World of Flight" bird show. They both loved it!

Gabe and Sonja

Gabe has the cutest cheesy smile.

Jaiden proved to me that he was a big boy when he rode the train without closing his eyes or covering his ears. A total 180 from last time.

There's that "cheeser" again.

Jaiden was so excited to see a "Papa" cougar. He even roared for me.

These two boys have become great friends! They played so good together. The end of their day resulted in a dip in the "pool."

Another successful day!

While the Dads are Away the Moms will Play!

Jaiden and his new friend, Carson.

The most handsome dude in the whole wide world!

My new friend, Katie. Her husband works with Dal. It's nice to have met such awesome people through Dal's work.

My pretty blues. Zoo pretzels are so yummy.

The highlight of the whole day... when Jaiden was able to get out of his stroller and feed the ducks.

Carson is so cute... he loved feeding the ducks too. Jaiden got a little selfish with the duck food.

This picture killed me. Reason #1: Jaiden just wanted to throw wood chips in the turtle shell. #2: There's some random little girl next to him. #3: Carson is just chillin' in the back wondering what the heck is goin' on.

He almost made it to the top of the steps... then he heard a helicopter.

The end of our zoo adventure. I wish I could have just fallen asleep in the back seat.

Pool Time

Jaiden's first swim of the year... success! Him and his Uncle Austie Pie. I love how his water wings are as big as his head.

He's really in to wearing his super sweet sunglasses. He knows he looks "cool."


He loves Austen so much. We got to the rec early and for an hour straight we had to search the pool for his uncle. "Austie, Austie... where are you. Boo!"

When it was time to leave he got the shivers so he just chilled while I wrapped him up in his warm towel. He loved the pool so much. It was fun for me to see how brave he became once he got into the water. We love our little peanut.
