Zoo Day and Mowing

I apologize to everyone out there that actually do read our blog. We have been very slack lately in writing and extremely busy with a summer that has actually been filled with days where we can go outside and still breathe. I know we don't have very many of these left in Oklahoma, so I am trying to enjoy as many as I can with him right now.

Last week we went off to enjoy the zoo. The cousins had a lot of fun and were extremely tired by the end of the day. This is a picture of Will, Ava, and Jared awaiting the train. They all looked pretty pooped by this time. The train had to be rode four times by all the children. Will "choo choo'd" the whole time we were on it. Of course, you can not forget to ride the carousel when you are at the zoo. Carousel's make me sick even when I am not pregnant so Will got to ride that one with Nini and not Momma. Fine by me!

Will was terrified with the daddy apes becuase they looked human like and in costume. If you are confused here, read earlier posts about Will and his LOVE of all things in costume. Other than that tramatic experience which resulted in sunscreen in his eyes for the next two hours, the day was a hit!

Now, on to mowing....I just loved this picture of Will I took yesterday. I remember when I was about his age or a little older me doing the same thing with my dad. I would follow him around the whole yard and not go in until the job was completed. I guess Will has gotten that little streak from me. The poor thing was sweating bullets, had cheeks as red as apples...but had to get the yardwork completed! He worked and worked and only stopped with Daddy stopped to get a water break. He had to "park" his mower right beside Steven's, drink out of the same Aquafina bottle (his sippy would just not do on this day!), and continue on until all the yard was mowed. It was just too cute. He napped very well after this!!!!!!!
