Zoo trip #3,408

As zoo members we love being able to make a trip without having to see everything. It’s somewhere around $150 to have a yearly membership but it pays for itself easily. This one trip would have cost $60 plus tax.

Taking a quick break for a snack.

Everyone riding the tortoise.

Daddy riding the salamander.

A little carousel action.

Luke doesn’t quite understand how these things work.

Gwynn showing him how it’s done.

Much better, though not a good choice of animal.

Rodeo

There was a rodeo in Columbiana one evening and we decided to take the kids to make sure they didn’t turn out to be city slickers. It was at the same location as the county fair.

The cowboys had to make sure the bulls didn’t get too close to the fence.

Gwynn did this before they started letting 1 ton bulls run around.

Luke wasn’t quite sure what to make of it.

The holding pens for the bulls.

Apparently the rodeo is exhausting to watch.

Playing Catch-up

So…we’ve kind of let the blog go, but we’re going to try to get back on track! Here are some pictures of what we did in January…

Gwynn built “Disney World” out of blocks.  She is dying to go there one day…she keeps asking when we’ll get to go!

Playing at the park.

Mr. Fix-It…

Gwynn loves to draw pictures on the iPad. In this picture she drew Daddy, complete with “hair chin.”

Eating cucumbers…

Gwynn loves to do “work.” She is getting really good at writing letters and spelling names (she knows how to spell GWYNN, LUKE, POP, and MIMI).

Doughnuts for breakfast one morning!

Mary Hubbard’s Baptism

We were fortunate to be picked as Mary Hubbard’s godparents, so we got to help out during her baptism (a little).

Gwynn wasn’t supposed to be up here but she couldn’t resist getting an up close view of the ceremony.

Emerson checking out her newly baptized sister.

Such a cutie.

Grandma had to do a lot of shushing with Luke.

Wagon Ride

Gwynn was a little more excited about the ride than Luke…

Luke loves to explore down by the lake with Daddy.
