Zoo Surprise!

On the Monday after our anniversary, Ned called me up from work at about 9 inthe morning.  He asked me what I was doing and if Jack and I could be ready to go in half an hour.  He said he was on his way home and had the rest of the day to play!  We packed up the baby and headed to the zoo.  It was the perfect day- sunny and 65 degrees.  We had so much fun!  Here are a few of Jack's favorites:

Hiiiiiiii JoJo, Hiiiiiiiii JoJo! (over and over and over  again)

The tigers were expecially active.  It was lots of fun to watch them moving all over the place.

I love when Ned and Jack make the same face and don't even realize it!

He's very excited about the gorilla!  It kept coming over to glass and putting its face right up against the window.

Easter 2011

 He did this funny thing where he would sit back and eat his treats and put his feet up on the basket.

 Then Nana stole the show with this last minute gift from the Easter Bunny!

 He's shocked!

He also got a fun book and some pictures of the temple and Jesus for his "photo album".  He carries it around and points to Jesus and gives him kisses.

Jack couldn't get enough of his Grandpa, and my dad was so great with him.  They went to the park every day the weather would allow.

Jack had to be holding both Daddy and Grandpa'a hands ALL the time!

 Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii, Papa!

 I love this one, because he's making such a "Ned" face! 



The Bean Museum

While my parents were in town, we planned to go to the zoo, but the weather did not cooperate.  So we settled for the Bean Museum.  It's like the zoo, but the animals don't move.

 Jack loved all the bugs!

I'm pretty sure it was against the rules for Jack to swing on the elephant tusks.  Lucky for him, he's got Grandpa wrapped around his finger!

This poor blog has been sadly neglected, I know.  Let's be honest- it turned into an online photo album the minute Jack was born.  In any case, we have lots of posts (or at least pictures) coming in the near future!

The Ron Swanson Burger

Do you watch Parks and Rec?  It's one of our Thursday night staples.  A couple episodes ago Ron Swanson was asked if he had ever eaten a turkey burger, to which he replied: "Is that a fried turkey leg inside a grilled hamburger? If so, yes. Delicious."  This link has the recipe!
