I had NO idea when I got up this morning that it was going to be such an action packed and adventurous day for Trevor. We started the day with a video chat with Gramma and Grampa Dusty and Trevor was all wound up and silly. He even did all his good tricks.
So we decided taking him to the zoo might help him run off some of his crazy.
After breakfast, Trevor and I hit the road. We were only there a few hours, but he was an extremely busy baby!!!
He loves the petting zoo. He doesn’t really care to touch the goats, but he will go all around the whole place and look under the benches and in tunnels to find hiding goats.
“Hey, this goat knows my tricks!”
He got to climb on a real farm tractor
He loved this alligator
He got to be a spider
We ran in to a friend! Funny coincidence!
In a hurry to pack and leave home this morning, we filled up a water bottle for Trevor and got his new bucket hat. And then I left them both on the counter. He had to make do with his baby hat that was in the car and I had to buy him a fancy crazy-straw cup from the gift shop so he could drink enough water. It was hot in the sun even though the temp was only 77.
We came home long enough for lunch and nap and then we heard that our little friend Tinker was racing in Wiener Mania 2013. It wasn’t far away and we have to get the most out of our spring weather, so we headed out again!
We remembered our water and bucket hat this time!
Tyler (red shirt) and Tinker (green jersey) focus before the race!
She came in 4th place in her heat, not enough to go to the semi-finals. Maybe next year!
After being silly and watching a few races, Trevor was hot and tired.
We still had to go grocery shopping because we won’t be able to do our usual Sunday morning run.
It is a long story, but Trevor managed to score himself his first oreo cookie at the store. There was a tired mommy, a big mess, and a proud little boy.
I let him have one after dinner.
Brendan had a great day at home with Daddy, but Daddy didn’t take pictures! Poor Brendan had enough of me giving Trevor dinner and he was ready for some Mommy attention.
Trevor put to bed, undivided attention from Mommy.
I had a good time with Trevor today but I couldn’t help but think about Brendan all day too. I can’t wait for the day he can just spontaneously go places like Trevor did today.
He had a nice long bath and some cuddles and fun and then he went to bed too.
A giant delivery truck dropped off a couple of pallets of construction materials today. Tomorrow is going to be busy for Daddy!
Trevor’s face with the oreo cookie is priceless…….so cute and Brendan when he finally gets his mommy time is priceless as well. v
Good Morning from the East Coast!! Incredible, the growth and development, with both boys, that we see through these blogs!! Brendan and Trevor!!! Way to go!! So Trevor, I told Kieran to video chat with you regarding your last zoo trip! I was wondering which Zoo is the best one….Pittsburgh or Chandler?? Brendan, hearing your giggles brought tears of happiness to me!!! 🙂 Oh boy Trevor, not much longer and Brendan will be running laps with you!! Still with the prayers….hugs and love to each and everyone of you!!! 🙂
What a day you had! We loved our chat with the boys this morning. Trevor’s frog imitation is the cutest thing! He was a ball of energy. It looked like a super fun day for him. Zoo, wiener dog races, and Oreo cookie!! Wow! 🙂
Brendan has the most adorable smiles. It won’t be much longer and he will be able to go on all of the adventures, too.
I’m sure Trevor will be happy to “help” Daddy with his project! He has all of his tools, and I know where you can get an adorable “supervisor”! Can’t wait to see the final result.
Lots of love,
Gramma
It was yesterday morning that we chatted! I usually post at night late. Sorry, boys, Gramma is losing it!! 😉
