Summer Vacation Kickoff

Yesterday Jeremy had a training for school, so it felt like today was our first true day of his vacation. Since the weather was beautiful (72 degrees), we decided to take the kids to the zoo. Riley was definitely more excited than Tucker. He was a pretty good sport though. We are officially members at the zoo now. I guess we knew this time would come sooner or later.

Here is Tucker doing what he did most of the visit. The times he was awake he spent crying. I had to walk back and forth over the wood planked areas because it put him back to sleep. I think all the people and kids stressed him out a little.

Here's Riley doing her new favorite thing to do at the zoo - ride the carousel. She chose to ride the dolphin the first time.

Here she is amazed at the cheetahs. Actually that was a yawn - close to nap time.

This time she chose an elephant.

We took her to see the butterflies for the first time - she loved them!

We sure are glad Jeremy's on vacation now!
