Trip to the Zoo

We decided to take a trip to the Zoo on our long weekend. The weather wasn't too bad, but a couple more degrees probably would have been the limit. The Fort Worth zoo is well designed with lots of shade though, so that certainly helped. Although Perryn almost always walks, I thought it might be a little too much walking for him, so we brought our bike trailer/jogging stroller so they could both ride in it.

Here they are waiting for Daddy to come back with the tickets.

The first exhibit is the gorillas and other primates. One gorilla was nice enough to be sitting right by the window, so that was fun to get a close up look.

In the end, Gary asked Perryn what his favorite part was and in response Perryn listed almost everything we saw, so I think it was a fun time for him and a successful family outing.  Davin didn't even nap until we got in the car at around 3p, so he was a real trooper (and wasn't crabby either).    

Too much of a good thing, apparently.

Transcript of a conversation I had tonight.

Me: I've got two surprises for you. Surprise number one is: We're going out to eat at McDonald's.
Perryn: Yaaaaay!
Me: Surprise number two is: Grandma's coming with us.
Perryn: Yaaaaay!
Me: But there's some bad news, too. Mommy's not coming with us.
Perryn: That's ok. I didn't want mommy to come with us.
Me (surprised by his response, but trying to be nonchalant): Oh? Why not?
Perryn: Weeeell, I love her, but I don't want to have dinner with her every night.

Davin Pulls Up

I know it's been too long since I posted anything. I was pretty excited to capture this moment on video, so I was motivated to get it posted right away, especially since Daddy missed it. You can tell from my excitement and comments that this was the first time he pulled up.

Perryn's Swim Lesson

This was Perryn's last lesson of 8 that he has taken so far. We don't have any lessons in June and then we will start again in July with a lady that lives near us. He did pretty well, with these lessons so far.

Perryn Playing

This one is a little long, but I liked it because Perryn doesn't know he's being recorded, so Gary captured him truly playing without any distractions of a video camera.

Davin's First Baseball game

Here's a couple photos of Davin's first baseball game. He seemed to enjoy it and was very good for the entire game. He really liked my cup, you can see him trying to chew on it in this picture.
