four at the zoo

IMG_6250

We went to the zoo and Saturday. It was a really lovely day. Greyson ran himself silly. We rode the train and the carousel. We saw a polar bear, snakes, monkeys, llama, birds, goats and much more. We had a really fun day as a family of four.

Greyson even rode on an elephant...

...well, an elephant statue!

Amelia missed most of the zoo...

...but the fresh air and comfy ride helped her take a wonderful nap.

blog hookie

I'm having a bit of bloggers block. I think its the tiredness. That and not having time to sit down and string thoughts together. So to make up for the week of nothing, here are a bunch of photos of the birds.

Greyson:

He has a new love OBSESSION with band-aids. The only reason he isn't covered in them all the time is that we ran out. He even figured out how to climb up to the drawer where we kept them. They have now been moved and I'm only restocking with the plain skin colored ones.

Someone (I'm looking at you, Grandpa Richard) taught Greyson how to move his little red chair over to the sink. Now it's a constant battle to keep him out of the sink, off the counter, away from the stove, etc. But, on hot days like we've been having a little play time in the sink can be fun. I just had to keep reminding myself, "It's just water, I can clean it up later" as Greyson poured cups of water on the counter and onto the floor.


Amelia:

What can I say, my little girl is becoming a spunky and chunky monkey! She has a little personality and she can be feisty. But she's also full of smiles that just melt my heart.

I also love her froggy face. She looks like this every time she is in the swing.

We took her to meet her Great-Grandma Persons last week. I know that seeing Miss A brightened Grandma's day.

Amelia sleeps dramatically!
I love this photo, I think she looks like a baby Greek Goddess.


This is why I haven't been writing much lately.

Between starting work again, taking care of a toddler and an infant, and this relentless heat I'm one tired momma! But I wouldn't trade it for the world. I mean look at those two - they my make my life complete and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The Great-Grandmothers in Liberty

Saturday we had a busy day. We went to a Footie Game (Austrailian Rules Football) to watch Uncle Mattie play. Unfortunately we missed his match, but caught the game he was helping to ref. We got to spend time with my parents, which was nice. It felt like I hadn't seen my dad in ages!

After the game we all headed to Liberty to visit with my grandmothers, Greyson's Great-Grandmothers.

Great-Grandma Gives Greyson a Ride!
This Way Great-Grandma!
Greyson hitched a ride with Great-Grandma Persons. He was pushing the walker around earlier, and was going so fast that he almost pulled her down, so it was safer for everyone if he rode. He really had a great time!

Then we headed over to see Great-Grandma Cissy
Granny and Greyson

We all enjoyed some time on the porch swing.

It was nice to visit everyone. Greyson is so luck to have so many "Greats" in his life!
