Zoo Day

A few weeks back {on Mom's birthday} I met up with all of these monkeys for a day at the zoo.  The two youngest kiddos had never been {and it had been years since we took Jack}, and it was so much fun to watch their excitement as they ran around the park, checking out the maps and pointing and gasping at all of the animals up close.  Even though we didn't see a cheetah and one of the favorite animals they saw was a glimpse of the dinosaur exhibit {?}, it was such a fun way to spend the day with my favorite kiddos {and so fun for Mom to have everyone together for her birthday!}.  Can't wait to do it again!

this kid is too much in the best way

An Afternoon in Wenatchee

As I hinted at earlier this week, we stopped in Wenatchee on our way home from Ellensburg to say hi to the brother and his family for his birthday.  We spent the day picking all the goodies from their garden, watching Jack ride his bike, watching Lily eat tomatoes, and picking out our favorite of Henry's drawings.  It was such a fun afternoon spending time with the kiddos {and their parents} and I'm so glad we took a detour to say hi!

henry could not be disturbed while eating his apple

it took a minute for lily to warm up to uncle christian, but after she did she was obsessed

henry on the other hand has always been a huge fan of uncle christian
