It's Good to be Home

After a long vacation, it is nice to be home again. We have kept busy and spent a lot of time outdoors since the weather has been fantastic.

Jack colored a card for Daddy.

Last Tuesday, Jack and I went to the zoo in the afternoon. We told Daddy to call us when he got off work so he could meet us in Forest Park for a picnic dinner. Jack and I got to see the penguins...

Jack also got very close to the chimps (although separated by glass). Then we met Daddy for our picnic. We just ate on a blanket on the ground, but since Jack probably wouldn't sit still and eat, we kept him in his stroller. Here he is with avocado all over his face.

Jack liked to explore on his own. Everyone was playing in the fountain and Jack decided he was done there and wandered off. I followed him as he ran around the gardens.
Caeleigh was nice enough to share her wagon, but Jack wasn't thrilled to ride in it. He would rather walk. The problem is that he doesn't always want to walk where we want him to walk.
