Christopher and I had a playdate with one of my friends that I used to work with and is in my book club. She has two kids: Logan and Lexi. Christopher fit right in and started playing the minute we walked in the door. The kids all had a great time and even gave Christopher hugs and kisses (and me too!) when we left. They had so many toys, Christopher was in heaven!
Storytime with dad.
Christopher spends alot of time playing with legos. He is getting good at pulling apart and putting together skills.
We were driving on the interstate today and we passed a big semi truck with a big load and I looked back and Christopher was plugging both his ears and yabbering something. It was so funny, I realized he thought the truck was going to be loud. The road by his daycare is currently being torn apart and in the morning the kids go out and watch the bulldozers and trucks for awhile and I bet they got that from the daycare teacher "cover your ears, it's loud!!!" It was so cute I laughed out loud by myself! It's the little things in life that make it so worth while!
I got out these orange cones that Ashly used to use to practice soccer with. They were a hit with Christopher. You can line them up, stack them, and throw them over the deck!
This is a picture of Ashly eating her first corn on the cob since she got her braces off just recently. The good news is that her teeth are straight, the bad news is she didn't brush well enough when she had her braces on. That's all I'm going to say.
Here's Chadd making us some delicious porkchops. Look at the flames! He's a professional!
Enjoying the corn on the cob.
Christopher loves the meat! And there's his corn we cut off the cob...he loves the corn too!
And finally, the cook has to eat too!
We went to the Minnesota Zoo today. I haven't been there for about 3 or 4 years. Chadd said it's been more like 20 years since he's been there!
As you can imagine, Christopher is at a perfect age to explore and react to the animals. We had so much fun watching his reactions. And Ashly enjoyed playing with him.
My favorite monkey boys!!!
Lookin at the buffalo.
Looking at the Prairie Dogs.
Christopher did a lot of pointing.
Yep, that's the only picture of me since I was the photographer.
The zoo has a separate farm area. Here we are riding on a trailer pulled by a tractor which takes us to the farm.
Here is Chadd with his favorite animal, the goat!
Christopher absolutely loved feeding the goats. He was not shy, he would give them a piece of their food one by one and laugh. Watching him feed the goats was my favorite moment of the day! We talked about needing to go to a few more local petting zoos since he has no fear when it comes to feeding the animals.
It was definately worth a couple extra bucks worth of food to watch Christopher feed the goat. 
Ashly was a great helper the whole day. Since she did most the animal watching with him, I was able to get all these great pictures!
Gotta love that smile!
This is a really fat pig! (I know, give her some time to lose her "baby weight"!!!) P.S. Just a statue :)
