Inside, Outside, Upside Down

More hodge-podge snapshots from our life.  That’s pretty much it!

This one is for my dad, to show him that the car he got for Logan is holding up well and being enjoyed a second time around.

We happened to hit the zoo at the right time for some elephant feeding.

This was nothing though—just wait until we get to Thailand!  We have an awesome elephant adventure planned there.

Maybe he is practicing his pirate face?

    Naomi rummages in the cabinets for some breakfast for her and her doll.

Painting with corks.  Not so much because I’m a good, creative mom but mostly because I couldn’t find the paintbrushes. 

Post-paint clean up. 

 Grammie sent Clifford for Naomi’s birthday.  Thanks Grammie!

 Just a little backyard fun.

  If he laces and she unlaces, does that count as teamwork?

This shisa sits at the top of a set of stairs.  At the bottom of the set of stairs there is a nice large field of grass.  In that field of grass there was SUPPOSED to be a playground.  The guidebook said it was there; it even showed pictures.  But the playground had vanished!

  I know that I was looking for the playground in the right spot because there were still a few remnants left, like this very large and still pretty cool castle.  Why the rest of the playground was no longer there is a mystery. 

  
But, as usual, we made the best of it.  We had a nice game of hide and seek at the castle, and also had a chat about how adventures don’t always turn out exactly like you expect.

Then we said goodbye to the shisa . . .

and trotted back home.
