Idazoo

We were able to tag along the other weekend with Cassidy's parents on their trip to Idaho Falls.  I think the weekend was a lot more fun for the girls than the boys, but we had a good time and are grateful to be able to see our families so often.  

While the men were busy working (more on that to come) the girls hit the Tautphaus Park Zoo.  Jason and Laura have lived next to this zoo for years and have bever been.  We were excited at how much this little zoo had.  Both of the babies and their moms.   

We were having a lot of fun now that Alden and Sam are getting more interactive.

There was a small petting zoo were the kids had fun with the donkeys.

Our sort of new little hatchlings in their nest.

And I just loved the lion.  

After the zoo we went to lunch and then shopping with grandma.  Meanwhile the men spent the day at home helping Jason build his deck.  Here is the before shot.  Jason had posts in, but that was it.  

And here is the project at the end of the day.  All that is left is hand rails, but it got dark and chilly before they had time for that.

Jason also has some very big dogs.  Alden loves dogs so we thought we would introduce him to Bruce.  Bruce's head is bigger than Alden's entire body, but Alden loved him and just kept laughing and wanting to pet him.  

And then just a bonus picture.  October is when post season of baseball happens.  We are trying to instil a love of baseball in Alden early so on October 1st we dressed Alden in his sports pajamas and Cass read him Take Me Out to the Ballgame for his bed time story.  It was really cute especially since Cass was so excited to read this book in October :)
