Fun Day at the Park

These are just some pics of a fun day that we all had at the park a couple of weeks ago. We went out for some ice-cream and then just played at the park. Love it! :o)
And just to post some more pics. Jaxon has been so silly. He found our duster and likes to "ride" it around our apt.
I love this kid. He is a constant source of entertainment! :o)

Happy Canada Day!

Yes, it took Canada Day to get me out of blogging hibernation. :o) Sorry for the long delay in posts. We've been busy trying to figure out our housing for next year and then packing up our place to get ready to move. But, well, we are still here and enjoying Ohio. Jack has been super busy with a short semester to get through. He's already doing finals next week and has been working very hard. Jaxon and I have been enjoying the good weather and just hanging out. Here are some pics of us at Stearns Farm which is just down the street from us.
It was cool to get really close to a lot of the animals.
This particular turkey did not really like visitors. If you look close, you can see how puffed up he is and he was squawking like crazy.
Jaxon has no fear though. He was sticking his fingers into all the animals faces.
I was lucky he didn't get bit. :o) Jaxon loved chasing the ducks.
This is the face he was making as he was chasing them. Some of my freshman roomies may remember this look. :o)
We sure had a lot of fun that day. But very sad that Jack had to miss it. :o(

Zoo Day

We've been having so much fun with Jack home during his break. Btw, wanted to say I am sooooo proud of Jack for being a great hard working student. He has worked SOOOO HARD this past year and has done well and gotten through it! Hooooray!
Anyhow, so we've been trying to cram as much into this week as possible. So more posts to come with more fun activities.
We started off the week at the Cleveland Zoo, which is free for us to go on Mondays all year round, which is TERRIFIC for us!
Here's a bunch of pictures from the FABULOUS day we had.
We had an early start and so did many other students! :o)
It was fun bumping into so many people we knew at the zoo.
First animal we got to see was the lion. It was so exciting to have Jaxon actually react to the animals we got to see. One of my personal favorites was the koalas. We got to see them so up close and they were soooo cute.
Jaxon's favorite was probably the monkeys. He would just laugh and laugh while they swung around and jumped around their cage.
The aquarium was also really neat and we got to see lots of cool fishes and of course some sharks.
The Australian part was fun too. Especially for Jack, who got to try out some kangaroo ears. :o)
We were a little too far away from the real ones to really interest Jaxon though.
There was also a "petting zoo" type area where you could get right up to the farm animals. Jaxon got to pet some of the animals and thought it was pretty cool.
Here are just some animal shots of some of the things we got to see.
All in all it was a fantastic day and I loved every minute of it.
It's such a fabulous experience experiencing all these new things with Jaxon. I LOVE IT!
Oh, and an update on camera situation in case you're all probably wondering how we have all these pictures. Well, knowing that we were going to have a whole week of fun and activity with Jack home, we just ended up buying a new one. And getting all these great shots was well worth it, eh? :o) And if you couldn't tell, we had a lot of fun trying out the new camera, so if any of you want to see even more of our fun zoo day, click here.
