Our family had a really fun summer. Some of the highlights include visiting our friend's the Logli's lake house, the kids starting to get along (!), and a family trip to the Brookfield Zoo.
AJ absolutely LOVED playing in the sand at the Logli's. He also really had a great time SWIMMING in the water! He did have on a life-preserver, but that said, he was NOT afraid, and jumped repeatedly from the end of their pier into the water, and paddled and kicked all by himself! It was so fun, wonderful and amazing. I was so proud of him!
Lizzy loved riding on the boat around the lake. So did I! How relaxing!
Gorgeous clouds.
Yes, she's crabby! But I had to include this shot because it showed her nice new bottom teeth so nicely! She has 4 teeth now...way less than most of her little friends, but she can still chew her food just fine.
The kids have finally started to play with and enjoy each other...once in a while! While I know they love each other, I have to have the camera handy if I want to really capture any of their short-lived displays!
At the end of the month, we got to visit the Brookfield Zoo all together with some guest passes from my sister. Thanks Kim! It was a really fun outing. I'm so used to taking the kids out by myself or with friends, it's always really nice when we get to do things as a family. :)
AJ was happy to pose by the "Daddy Tiger"!
He also got to touch a real lion skull!
And the HUGE TEETH! It was pretty cool.
AJ on the "Olga" statue. She couldn't have really been THAT big, right?
I remember her from when I was a kid, but I was smaller then...
My little Leemur and I.
AJ was so excited to ride the gorilla on the carousel with Daddy!
What a perfect end to the day at the Zoo.
