Zoo Trips

The kids and I have already been to the zoo three times this summer, each time with different friends!  The first two times we got a little rain but not enough to stop the fun! 

Our first trip turned into family skip day.  Daycare was closed so I had taken the day off work, it was rainy so Bruce and Jared didn't have to work so we went to the zoo with the Dohrmans and the Saalfranks.  We saw most of the zoo that day and hid under an umbrella during the first rain storm! Here are some pics of our first trip...








Our second trip, the kids and I went with Nana, Pops, and Nonny.  We had a lot of fun.  The giraffes were out but not close enough to feed :( but the zebras came right up to the post we were watching from so that was pretty cool!  Mia & Pops got to share a pushup and she thought that was pretty cool (the next time we went to the zoo she went up to the same stand and pointed to the pushup because she wanted another one...she remembers everything!!)










On our third trip the kids and I went on Friday after a week at the lake.  We took Aunt Erin & Kylee, Jane, Dana & Eden with us.  We went early and it was perfect weather.  All the animals were really active so it was a lot of fun.  We tried to feed the giraffes but both kids thought it was a little scary.  Mia loved the pony ride but was ready to get off after the second lap! :)

I Will Be Back!!

I am hoping to blog about all of our great memories from the last two months over the weekend if I can find time.  So for any of you out there anxiously awaiting my return hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer!!

Hunter's 15 month Checkup

I feel like we've been to the doctor a lot lately.  Hunter had a sinus infection that put a bunch of pressure on his ear about 3 weeks ago and Mia got swimmer's ear (she was a little fish at the lake last week) so we made 2 Sunday trips to the after hours clinic...yuck!

Today, however, was a good doctor's visit.  Hunter is growing great!

15 month stats:

Weight: 26lbs - 70th percentile
Height: 33in - 95th percentile

Definitely working on stretching things out right now.  He is a pooping maching as he cuts all his molars and is developing quite the personality! He thinks its hilarious to push Mia...she does NOT think this is funny...so great fun for me to say the least!  Now, if we could just get Hunter to talk instead of grunt...
