Our Day at the Zoo

Last Saturday, we took the dudes to the Columbus Zoo. They really seem to enjoy seeing all the animals and people watching. The first thing we saw when we entered the gates at the zoo were these cute little baby ducks. The dudes wanted to share their chips with the ducks. Aren't they nice.

On to our next adventure at the petting zoo, this is Aidan brushing a goat that was just laying there in the middle of all the action. After a few reminders from me, Aidan did a very good job of brushing the goat gently.

This is a picture of Nico trying to climb the fence to get to the horses. They seemed to be his favorite at the petting zoo.

This is a picture of the dudes visiting the bear habitat. I think the dudes liked the bears because of all the noise they made, almost reminded me of home.

And last, but not least, the Sea Otter. It is kind of hard to tell what it is in the picture because it swims so fast it is hard to get a good shot. The dudes loved the Sea Otter and the fish. They loved the fish so much in fact that we now have two fish at home named Red Car fish and Nemo fish. Aren't we gullible!


Don't be surprised if you see a lot more of our adventures at the zoo this summer. We bought a season pass this year. Hopefully, the dudes will really enjoy seeing all the animals.

A Visit from the Holton's

Also in April, the Holtons came to visit us here in Ohio. We love having visitors. Megan had some Irish dancing to do in downtown Columbus. I went to the competition with her and Bridget. Megan did really well. If I remember correctly she got two second place metals. This picture shows Megan letting Nico play with one of her metals.

While the girls were at the dance competition all the boys went to the zoo. This picture shows Patrick and the dudes posing so nicely for a picture, however the dudes had a breakdown soon after and had to come home and take a nap. Ed and Patrick stayed to see more of the Columbus Zoo.

Thanks for visiting us Ed, Bridget, Megan and Patrick.

Visit to Cousin Madison's House

In April, we made trip to Michigan and stopped to visit Uncle Tommy, Aunt Jackie and Cousin Madison. Madison had a new world of toys for the dudes to explore.

We finally got Madison and dudes to all sit down at the same time so we could take a picture of all the grandkids for Grandma K. They were all watching Baby Einstiens.

Madison was not sure about the dudes touching all of her stuff at first, but by the end of the night she was sharing with them very nicely. If only the dudes could learn to share with each other.

The dudes just hanging out

The dudes and Louie went with me to the grocery store, which I normally don't allow because they always come to the check out with something else we don't need. This time they found hats from their new favorite movie Cars, they call them their red car hats. So this picture just shows the dudes in their new red car hats. They have not come to the grocery store with me since.

This picture shows the dudes enjoying a Popsicle on a nice warm day here in Ohio. I bought the slow melting Popsicles thinking it would help with the mess, but they still manage to get more of it on themselves then in their mouth.
