Busy Summer

We had a wonderful summer! In July, we flew to PA for a wedding and spontaneously ended up in Atlantic City. We slapped on our beach gear and had a great day...

Observing shells

Kinda cranky

 At the beginning of summer, we spend a lot of time strolling to the town park.

 

I love this stroller...too big for our car though :(

Slid down by herself at 14 months...way earlier than my cautious son!

She's very agile and brave...this thing spins

Elijah likes indoor technology fun with the iPhones

In the car, Monica sometimes doesn't like our choice of music...boogers

Anyway, I'll try to post more often now that we're at home, the sun is not out as long, and we are settling in for a long winter!

Love,

Trip to the Alaska Zoo

Elijah loves animals. 

He loves safari animals, he loves arctic animals,  he loves cartoon animals, he loves stuffed animals...you get the picture.

He can't talk, but he has his many babblings and signs for animals or he just gets a stuffed animal that matches what he wants to say. So, we thought a trip to the zoo was in order.

I loved his face of just "uh, wow!" when he saw a "roar" or polar bear...

 

Snow Leopard, real up close!

It was still a bit cold and snowy when we went.

First time with cotton candy...they were such messes after!

We went back to see the seals twice!

We're planning on going to one of those safari parks in July - they will really love the giraffes and elephants and monkeys!

Love,

Amanda & Cubs
