Ben has had the whole week before he leaves for operator training off. We took the time to spend some much needed time together after our crazy month of May. Of course, two our of the three kids were sick but we still found time to go to the zoo and hang out at the pool. Which, by the way, this zoo is probably the best we have been to. Last year the boys and I got to go to the National zoo in Washington D.C. and that was pretty cool too. but the animals were so active, it was a lot of fun.
If I ever doubted why God gave us all boys I think we received some clarity today. Ben and I were just as excited as the boys going from one exhibit to the next. We loved see how active the animals were and just had the best time with the boys. And, I can't believe I am going to write this, the snakes were pretty amazing.
Yes, he was that close...as you will see in the next picture.
Luke sat there and watched him sleep the whole time. Eventually, he woke up and just stared at Luke. It was a little unnerving.
Luke loved the birds, monkeys and snakes.

Sweet angel baby...he was wonderful and we know he felt rotten.
There was a robotic dinosaur exhibit which was so fun for the boys to see. At first they weren't sure (actually Luke still isn't in this picture) but eventually they both warmed up to them just fine. Poor Jake just fell asleep and buried his head in my shoulder.
