June 25 - July 1

This week was pretty typical of the rest of this summer. BUSY! Joshua loves being outside, and we've been trying to get him out as much as possible.

*Monday we did our usual walk, and then met up with some other members of our playgroup at the Children's Playground. One of the moms is a photographer, and she's doing some professional shots of Josh for me. Just wait until you see them!
*Tuesday I had an OB appointment. I've only got 10 weeks to go (give or take).
*Wednesday our favorite story time started its next session. It was cute when Josh realized where we were... he said "Ooooohh!" really loudly... in a library, mind you! Thankfully the librarians understand those kinds of things. Hehe
* Sunday morning we went to the zoo, again. (Gotta love the membership passes!) We've found if you get there when the gates open at 9 AM, you'll have a much better time, than if you get there in the middle of the day! There were MAYBE 50 cars in the lot, so we had a great parking place. By the time we got the stroller and everything out of the van, and got to the gates, most of the people had gone through already. We were able to walk leisurely through, without having a ton of people crowding us out of the viewing areas. Most of the animals were up and moving around, too. I guess afternoon heat tires them out.
We were also able to let Joshua walk A LOT on his own. We were only 1 family of maybe 3 or 4 in the Kids Kingdom play area, so Joshua was actually able to use the big slide (although he wasn't too impressed.) Once we made it through, past the kangaroos, we went into the playground behind the snack booths, and he was the only one playing there, and I was able to get some great pictures hehe.
