Zoo day

Tyler is old enough now to really enjoy the zoo. He especially liked the tram ride and the kiddie railroad ride. It was a fun morning!
 


 
Claire insisted I take a picture of her with this little goat. It was her favorite.


 
Those are prairie dogs behind the kids. For some reason they really liked those critters.

Summer time at last

Things have warmed up here in Ellicott City! It is finally summer. I got my first couple of mosquito bites the other day. We've started our weekly routine of swimming at the local pool and hitting up the ice cream truck. My peonies are blooming and the lawn is a nice lush green. We picked strawberries today and made strawberry shortcake for dessert. Summer may be super sticky here, but the change in seasons really makes these fun traditions so special. Here are some random photos from the past few days...





Grandma Becky this one is for you:




Claire is really getting the hang of finding the best ripe berries. She took her work very seriously.




 
Every time we looked at Tyler in the field he was stuffing his face with strawberries. He smelled so sweet all afternoon!
