More fun at the Parks

More fun days at the park. The weather has been so nice for the last 3 weeks. We've spent as much free time as possible at neighborhood parks. You couldn't ask for a better way to kick off the summer.

A day at the Zoo

We spent most of today at the Woodland Park Zoo. Grammy and Grandpa, Uncle Nick, Aunt Stephany, cousin Caelan, and our friend Anna all came along to join us. The kids (and the rest of us) had a great time. After a week of 90+ degree weather, today was a perfect cool 70 and overcast - perfect weather for the zoo.

Check out our family photo page for some pictures from our visit. Here's a small sample to wet your appetite:

Picnic at the Park

We went to Lake Wilderness Park by our house for a picnic lunch last week. The girls had a great time, enjoyed their lunches, and spents lots of time playing after lunch.

Mommy and Makenzie cuddled on the blanket while Jadyn, Karina, and Daddy played an exhausting game of tag in the 90 degree weather. It was a perfect afternoon~

Big Blue Eyes

What's that big, bright light? Our little angel is 4 months old and growing stronger every day.

A little Pun goes a long way

Jadyn is sitting with Julie and Karina right now and going over her spelling/reading word lists for school. She came across the word 'pun'...

Jadyn: Mommy, what's a pun?
Daddy: A pun is a joke like Grandpa tells.
Jadyn: Which one?
Daddy: Here's an example - What did the cow say to the other cow when he wanted to sit down?
Jadyn: I don't know
Daddy: Mooooooooooove over!
Jadyn & Karina: laughing
Daddy: See - the 'pun' part is the Moooooo in move. The answer is 'move over', but it's a pun because you say 'Mooooooooove over.'
Karina: Yeah. It wouldn't be a pun if the cow said, 'Si-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-t down'.

I don't know if it translates as funny when you read it, but the way she didn't skip a beat and just blurted it out so matter-of-factly had us rolling on the floor. She's so funny and doesn't even try hard to be - we love it!
