Fun in the Sun!

We've been enjoying the warm weather, but now we are ready for the pool to open!!!
These pictures are from my phone and I don't know why they look so bad.
We had some neighbor friends over one day to play in the sprinkler.

 
We've also had some picnics outside!


And made our own waterslide!

 Last week Taylor "graduated" preschool.  We went to her program at school and she did a great job!

Drew - 18 months

Drew is now 18 months old!!!  I can't believe we are on our way to two years old!  He is still quite the character and keeps us on our toes at all times!!! He LOVES to copy and imitate whatever Taylor and Ben do.  He has a lot of words and can make a lot of animal sounds, too.  His favorite things are building with any sort of blocks/Lego Duplos and playing outside.  
At his 18 month appointment he was 24 1/2 lbs. (50th percentile) and 31 in. (25th percentile).  He was not cooperative at the doctor at all and told her "no" to anything and everything she would say or do.  Other than his "attitude" he checked out great!!!

Mealtime is always fun......he did this and then said "hat"!  He was so proud!
Drew LOVES to be outside and throws a huge fit basically every time we need to come in.  Bubbles are one of his favorite things to do outside.

He is also getting pretty good at his scooter.  He is so cute to watch....just needs to work on that steering!

And his newest (and least desirable) new trick is climbing on the table and counters.  I can't leave the room for a minute and he is up on either the table or counter making a mess of whatever he can reach.  I'm hoping this "phase" passes very quickly!

Zoo!

We are so excited that the zoo is open again!!!  We have been twice already.  The first time we went with Taylor's class for a field trip.  It was a little chilly at first, but warmed up nicely while we were there!

Ben and Taylor both rode ponies!

Hanging with some friends!
 
When we went back this week the weather was much warmer! 


Taylor and Ben were so excited that the giraffe was up at the deck to eat.  They both fed her a piece of lettuce.

We can't wait to spend our summer at the zoo!!!
