The good news is that we've been enjoying some great weather here -- I think it was 60* yesterday! We went to the zoo and played outside. We actually like to think of our zoo as a great nature walk, because if you grade it as a zoo, you would have to give it a "D". But if you grade it as a Nature Walk, it gets and "A+"! So Nature Walk it is. How many times can you go for a nice, wooded walk and find tigers and bears and pandas?
The bad news is that the Steward found our camera card sticking out of its port in the computer, and now it is lost forever. So no pictures. That darned Steward! He also left a mysterious glob of something brown on the light switch. We'll say it's chocolate. Yep, let's go with that.
Grace and Matt were so happy to go to the zoo. And guess what -- I DIDN'T BRING A STROLLER!!! Yes, I went to the zoo without a stroller for the first time in 14 years! It's the dawning of a new age....
Grace decided that she would "pretend" that she owns the zoo, and she introduced me to all of her animal friends and led me around like she knew where she was going ("And over here is lake... and this is my duck... please come this way"). She is so much like Andrew -- always in la la land. Always a story going on in her little head. Can I live in the land of make-believe, too?
Matthew loved it, although he was very upset about the peacocks roaming around, and the various waterfowl at the barn. He thought they were stupid and gross and horrible. He yelled at them and ran at them to scare them away. He showed him that he knows how to use the word "no!". I just wish I had the camera to show you the disgusted look he had on his face.
So since I haven't been able to take pictures for a few days, I thought I'd share some of my favorite pictures of the kids from years gone by. See if you can tell who's who:
