The Zoo: 2011

Last month we embarked on a trip to the zoo, which has become an annual tradition for the boys and their cousins.

We saw some pretty birds:

Some ugly hippos:

 

A bald eagle:

And some monkeys:

 

Oh wait, we brought those.

The Zoo - 2010 installment

We were back to the zoo again this year, and the kids were even more into it this time. We did the double stroller thing again, and brought lots of snacks. Other than the fact that the zoo has gotten really expensive, I have no complaints!

We met up with cousin Abby and her parents since they were in town, and you would never have known it's been over a year since Silas and Abby had seen each other. They were holding hands for like an hour straight. It was pretty cute.




They tried to get Titus in on the hand holding but he was way too busy exploring.


Ooh, penguins... but wait, Titus says - it's a ledge, I should jump on and off it repeatedly!


Our best attempt at a cousins picture, minus Bryce, who I think was sleeping at the time.


Haven't they grown up since last year?

The Zoo!

We recently tagged along with Grandma, Grandpa, and the cousins for the boys' first trip to the zoo.

Silas has decided he loves wearing his hat and sunglasses now. He wouldn't take them off.


Titus says, "Mom, I see you, I'm coming!"


Silas liked to jump out of the stroller and "run, run, run!" so he could get up close and see things.... like the sleeping bear.


Titus playing with some ball they let the tiger chew up:


The highlight for Silas was the 35 minute train ride through the zoo.


Titus spent a lot of time eating, as usual:


I realize there aren't many pictures of the animals in this post... but honestly, who wants to see animals when you can look at pictures of my cute kids? :)
