A Labor DayTrip to the Zoo

Before heading out to the zoo, we had a restful morning.  Check out what Madeline created with the change from her piggy bank.  So cute.  I love that she thinks that life is all about smiling!

Ryan and Mommy worked very hard on this 3-D superhero creation.  Even with all his boyish energy, Ryan loves to sit down and color and create things.  My special, special boy.  And what a funny facial expression.

Be careful boy.  That things going to bite you!  Obviously, it's not real, but man, it was one of the most live looking statues we've seen.  We were all a little tentative about touching it.  Of course, Ry was first in line.

And we announce the egg birth of Ryan Joshua. . .40 some pounds and very long.

And also, we announce the egg birth of Madeline Olivia, 40 some pounds, very, very long, and pure sugar.

Me and my babies.  Thankfully, this was a very, very tame rhino!

A little rock climbing.

Okay, his faces crack me up.  Boy, you are too, too funny.  You are such a joy in your Mommy's and Daddy's lives. 

Ride 'em chimpanzee!

Watch out Bobo, Mommy's found a new 4-legged love, and his kisses are much, much drier.

Okay, another really scary, real looking statue.  I love this picture.  So, so cute.

Oh my goodness, what a cute, cute snake picture.  Who else could make standing next to a snake appear so cute!  Mommy's precious, precious baby girl!

Thank goodness, Daddy's so strong.  It's no fun looking at sea lions and seals at less than 4 feet.

On a whim we decided to go to the zoo on Labor Day.  We had such a wonderful time.  I'm so grateful for time together as a family.
