A Zoo Trip

I am back again... here are some older pictures of a zoo trip we took on New Years Eve. It turned out to be an eventful day, a tornado came through and we ended up staying in the basement of The Living World for about an hour before we were allowed to leave. When we did leave we started getting phone calls from the Crestwood/Sunset Hills area that the tornado had come right through there. So, we drove home not really knowing what we would find. Luckily, our house was fine and everyone we knew was safe, but it sure was an interesting day.

Anywho, here are the zoo pictures from that day, before everything got crazy!

I love his curious face

He was obviously still a little under the weather here.

The Magic of a Membership

In January we bought a membership to The Magic House. I was worried about spending the money and whether or not Elijah is really old enough to enjoy it. Well, as usual I worry too much. We have loved having the membership. We have gone at least 3 times since we got it less than a month ago and Eli totally loves it. It is awesome to be able to go for just an hour or so without having to worry about "getting our money's worth" and it is great family time. I love doing something that is so Eli-centered. It slows us down and helps us to really see how much he can do and how much he is growing.

What's for dinner little guy?

By far the best part of the Magic House - The Ballpit
