Stone Zoo!

the otters are daddy's favorite

Noah got up close to the jaguar

Sophie's pretty curious about the snakes

But she really LOVES the bears (Noah and Daddy took a little break while she watched the bears)

This morning Noah decided to teach his sister a song.  She decided to let him.  Mostly...

Cygnets at Ell Pond!

On Mother's Day (and grandma's birthday!) Aunt Jaki came too,

and Nana and Grampy

and we had our first party at the new house!

We always have fun when Grandma and Pop-pop come to visit!

We took them with us to Tot Shabbat,

and then headed back to the hotel pool for a swim!

Sophie and Noah were two funny little fish!
