The one with a zoo day!

All the rain lately has made the mountains explode with green. It's so beautiful and I LOVE it! It is gorgeous out there. 

Kelly and Thomas met us at the zoo yesterday--it was chillier than we expected but other than that a perfect zoo day! There were school groups but we kept ahead of them, and basically had every thing to ourselves! 

Both boys were bums and woke up freakishly early--5am for Luca and 6:30 for Thomas, so they weren't fully into everything, and we had some fits, but for the lost part all four of us enjoyed it. 

We let the boys run around to get their energies out. 

It's dinosaur time at the zoo again, and Luca thought they were cool--from a distance--this one roared at him once he was at the fence--he didn't appreciate it after that. 

Thomas gave them a wide berth but never took his eyes off them. It was hilarious. 

They had many conversations. 

He ran in and out of the bear house so many times and posed like that. 

We rode the caurosel and it was a hit until it started to move. Then we all ended up sitting. 

Then we rode the train. It was a bigger hit than the carousel, for once. 

While Luca was running around he fell several times--I know that's shocking--and he ended up re-opening his scraped knee. He bled lots, all over me, so I ended up putting his first bandaid on!! Like Kenz said--it's surprising he lasted so long--but it's shorts weather now--so he's actually hurting himself. He's been in pants forever, which were helpful in this area. 

We ate at city creek for lunch--and let the boys run out their last energies on the dinosaurs there.

We are basically all making the same exact faces, and in the same spots. But look at the boys!!! Stop growing! 

We are SO beyond glad that our friends are back!! We need buddies our age! 

Thomas taught Luca how to do a real fishey face yesterday! He was doing it all the way home. I love watching their minds go when they see someone else their size accomplish something! 

We pretty much made a pack to never move away again. We need friends. Making new ones is hard, especially when you love your old ones so much!!
