Kim and I took our boys to the zoo here in KC on Wednesday. We went when it opened at 9:30 and decided to just check out Africa. We were able to see many of the animals up close and apparently there has been a recent baby boom. Two baby giraffes were just recently brought out and the rhinoceros below was just lounging around with her babe.
There were a couple of ladies who worked at the zoo talking to us about the little rhino and they mentioned that since it was an endangered species that it wouldn't be staying here for all that long. Ben was really upset about the thought of the baby having to leave his mama.
In the spirit of the mom and baby theme, here is Kim and Joey on the carousal before we left.
The first week of summer break went by quickly. The boys spent a few hours each day at the neighborhood pool. They are back in their life jackets for now until they get comfortable again in the water. Once it warms up a bit I will get back in the water and help teach them what little I did last summer. We went to story time at the library on Tuesday and they picked out a few books afterward. Ben has been keeping up his reading skills and is doing quite well. He already misses his teacher, Ms. Claire. Owen already knows his alphabet so we have been working on letter sounds and counting.
For now that's all I have planned for the summer. A lot of swimming, sunshine, hanging out with friends and reading and math thrown in to keep us from getting bored.
