Day at the Zoo

On Friday night, we had an evening out with friends. Grandma and Grandpa stayed to watch the boy and Phil and I went to the Cannonsburg Picnic Pops. We met up with 3 other couples - this was our fourth summer going as a group. The temperature was perfect and it was fun to see everyone.

On Saturday morning, we played for a while at home. Will's imagination has taken off and he is very content to play with his trains (driving to Grann's house), pretend he works in a restaurant with his kitchen, play school, etc. After my haircut and a quick trip to the Farmer's Market, we took the boys to the zoo. Will was very excited and wanted to say hi to all the animals (there was a story about that in his Highlights magazine). We packed a picnic lunch and ate under one of the big tents. Then we stopped at the playground outside the zoo for a bit and stopped at Dairy Queen for ice cream on the way home.

On Sunday, we took Will for a much needed haircut.  Then we went to the playground across the street for a while.  We took a break for another picnic lunch and then played some more.  After Will's nap, he and Phil went downtown to run around a bit and look at the fountains outside the GRAM and the Ford Museum.

Yum... soft serve!

<>A few weeks ago, Grandpa took Will downtown to the train station to see the 7:30am train that heads to Chicago. Will thought it was pretty cool to see the big trains.<>

<>Alex is technically too big for the bassinette, but he really likes playing in it right now. He loves to flip over and play peek-a-boo because he can just peer over the top edge.<>
