Who's Watching Who?

J arrived home from Idaho on Wednesday after a hellish week and a half. Even though he officially did not have Thursday off, we tossed caution to the wind and went to the zoo.

The zoo + the train = pure bliss for the boys



I love O's finger in front of my face. It's how I'll remember my kids -- always curious, always finding interesting things to catch their attention. That's why there are so many pictures of the backs of them. Like these next three.

It took some convincing to get the boys to pose by this awesome elephant as it makes some weird un-elephant-like groaning noises. H would have nothing to do with it.

These were more to their liking.

I love this one



We brought a picnic lunch and sat by the zebras. The monkeys couldn't sit still long enough to get in the picture, but here is J enjoying Goldfish.

O was determined to find the giraffes. On the ride up to the zoo, when we walked in the gate, while we were eating lunch -- giraffes, giraffes, giraffes. He lost patience with us when we stopped to look at some bird and just took off by himself.

Mission accomplished, O!
More backs of the boys

This crocodile enthralled the kids no end.

And of course you can't beat the carousel

Or the giant spider in the playground
