Family Photos, Zoo, Cousins, & Sleep

Yes, we finally decided to get a family photo to include Elias!

 And one of these so we can look back on it in 30 years.

 And just because....

 And this because we have no others of just him.

I took Isaac and Elias to the zoo.  This is a hole they can climb in to look at bears.  It's deeper than the picture looks.

 They rode the tortoise.

 And the saddle.

 Elias did NOT want to share his nest.

 He brushed goats for the first time by himself.

 The zoo keepers came and made the elephants give a show for us.  They flapped their ears and raised their trunks on command. They got scooby snacks (for real, the guy said scooby snacks) for their treat.

We've stayed over night at my parents house each weekend so the kids can play together. Olivia LOVES having TWO babies to play with.

 Wagon rides, tball, soccer...the favorites out front.

 Just cuz she's our girl!

 Rock throwing. No one got wet or hit with a rock. Super!

 J also took us on a truck ride around the neighborhood.

 Story time before bed.

 We went to the coolest park that has all the old school metal toys. This was one of them.

 They dragged sticks and fingers and grabbed rocks while going around and around.

 Baby weight: two nuts on a stick.

 Playing on the back of a train car.

 GLAD YOU ARE HERE!!!

 Climbing up, running across, and jumping into Aunt Tara's arms.

 Elias trying to climb up.

 Watching a show.

Interesting places Isaac has been sleeping during nap.

And another way he chose to sleep during nap.
