The Sandbox!

After much hard work, Jason finished Jack's sandbox. I think he did an awesome job if I do say so myself. The picture I had in my head was so much plainer than what he actually produced. Jack came outside and said "Oh, sand!" It was so funny. He sat on the edge and buried his feet. Jack is very lucky to have such a handy daddy! Here is a picture of them showing off their new toy.

The Zoo!

Jack's daddy took Friday of this week off of work, so we decided to take Jack to the zoo. We also took his cousin. I think it was national field trip day, but we found a few places that weren't completely chaotic.
Here are the boys at the duck pond looking over the bridge.

Here they are looking at the huge koi fish. Jack kept making his fishy face at them.

They had a really neat playground area that the boys enjoyed. Ian liked climbing all the big rocks. They wouldn't sit in the eggs long enough for me to get a cute picture.

They really loved the gorilla. He was over here at first and then....

I promise I'm not making this up. He noticed the boys in the double stroller and came all the way over to sit by them. He just sat there and looked at them, particularly Ian. Maybe he thought they were baby monkeys. I know they can act like monkeys sometimes. :) I said something about him looking sad and Ian kept asking why he was sad. Oops! They boys loved him so much that we bought them little plastic gorilla figurines at the gift shop. They held them all the way home.
