Morning at the zoo

Today I took the boys to the zoo. I was a little concerned about the chance of rain in the forecast, but we so desperately needed to do something fun that I was willing to take the chance. The weather turned out to be beautiful, and not too many people were there. Couldn't have asked for a nicer day at the zoo.
We ate our snack with the gorillas - literally. We sat on the bench and ate grapes and cheese-nips and the gorilla was snacking on lettuce just a few feet away. The gorillas are one of my favorites because they seem so human. We also loved the baby orangutan and the two baby elephants.
By the polar bears they now have tiger sharks. That tank also has the tunnel underneath like the polar bears. Today there was a scuba diver following the sharks around. The kids in the tunnel seemed more enthralled with the diver than the sharks!
One funny story - At the lower sea lion viewing area, we were dangling our keys to get their attention. Isaiah just loved actually playing with the sea lions! But while we were down there, Isaiah was holding two cheese-nips and one grape. He showed me his hand and said, "Mommy, click on the one that's different." A man standing near us laughed out loud and said, "This is the computer age!"

Sam and the blanket

Sam has been climbing on and off the chair for a few days. Last night he dragged the blanket over to the chair, climbed up, and sat down. It made for a cute picture. =) Then, of course, Isaiah had to get in on the action.

Chocolate cupcakes in a cone

On Saturday my mom made a fun snack, and the boys sure had fun eating it!

Isaiah in the Who house


Isaiah went to see Seussical on Thursday and Friday night. He got to sit in the front row both times and was totally mesmerized. I took this picture after the Wednesday afternoon rehearsal. He loved going backstage!

In the doghouse again...

Last night I did a victory dance after I got home from Seussical. Dan said, "So I guess that's why you don't do the choreography." Doghouse.
