Dinosaur Day

We visited the zoo with our friend, Krystle, for her company picnic. We had so much fun and even got to see the temporary dinosaur exhibit. I wasn't sure how Beckett would respond to the moving and roaring dinos and my predictions were correct. I tried to talk them up all week and reassure him that they were just pretend. But...the zoo did such a wonderful job making them look realistic that there was no way that I could convince him otherwise. Needless to say, even with his love of dinosaurs, he was pretty fearful of "the real" dinosaurs. Unfortunately, he wouldn't get close enough to the dinosaurs for pictures.

Eggs and babies

Huge T-Rex

The T-Rex was pretty loud and active. His arms, head,
 tail, mouth and eyeballs moved. It was pretty realistic! 

I love B's face. You can tell he wasn't thrilled
to be that close to the T-Rex. 

  

They also had one T-Rex that didn't move or make noise.
Beckett loved this one and didn't want to leave it. 

Of course, he was drawn to the lizards and snakes. 

We took a few rides on the train. Happy boy!

Father's Day 2014

Since neither one of our fathers live in town, we were able to take Blake's grandfather out for Father's Day. We enjoy every minute that we get to spend with him and love listening to his stories! This particular day he was telling us how he used to give Blake's grandmother $5 a week for groceries. She secretly stashed part of that every week and saved it for a rainy day. Can you imagine spending less than $5 on groceries? Wow, how times have changed. We cherish every sweet story that he tells about Blake's late grandmother :) 

He was making B laugh. Such a fun and genuine picture :) 

I just found these pictures from Father's Day

 two years ago. I miss this baby!
