Animal Encounters

Getting up close and personal with some zoo animals at night was worth the crowds and tired boys.

Where should we go?

Happy Birthday, Dad!

We helped Mom make apfelstrudel, Dad's favorite. I decorated with red and green sprinkles!

Imagine Mom's surprise when she opened the mailbox and saw herself on the cover of a magazine!

Day at the Aquarium

Mom is a little late helping us blog these pictures of our trip to the aquarium last weekend.

Home Again!

We missed you, Daddy!

Weekend with Elsa

We had a lot of fun with Elsa this weekend. We played at several parks, rode our bikes in a parade, went to an indoor playground with Uncle Joe (while Mom, Aunt Katy, and Nathan went for a run!), and played with bubbles. Waiting for the parade to start. Serious about the parade. It seems like the whole town turned out to either be in it or watch it.
Aunt Katy can be a bit kooky, but a lot of fun!

We went to the train museum. I could ride Thomas and look at a model train at the same time!

Conductors hard at work. It was fun to be in control of this train!

Sun Day, Zoo Day

Happy Mother's Day!

Evan's turn: Since Mom wasn't home on Mother's Day, I decided we would have a Mother's Day party on Thursday. I got to choose how we celebrated, so we made a carrot cake (from scratch) with waffle frosting. For those of you who don't have the recipe, make a recipe of cream cheese frosting, add bits of torn waffle, stir. When Mom told me it was one of the best cakes she'd ever tasted I answered without hesitation, "I know. It's the waffles."
