Last Zoo visit of the Summer

We ended our summer on a high note by heading out for one last trip to the zoo.  Mason and Sophia both really enjoyed the visit.  We had super weather, and it wasn't very crowded.  A+++

Heading out in the little red wagon.

Check out these cuties at the train station.

Zoo-fari express!

Playground fun.

Mason and Sophie turned into a two-headed turtle!

My attempt to catch the golden eagle in flight right above my head.  Kinda blurry but wow!

Lunchtime.

Sophia on the carousel, she chose the elephant to ride.  

Mason chose the cheetah.

Posing by the lion statue.

They had these cool slurpee cups, the kids loved 'em.  Cheers!

Back at the zoo park for one more play session.

Thanks for a fun day guys!

Tie-dying fun! Warning: psychedelic content

Summer of love '09!  We wanted to create something and I haven't tie dyed anything since girl scout camp when I was ten.  Mason picked purple, I picked orange and Sophia wanted pink.  I should have gotten blue for Matt but we didn't have any other containers.  Check out the fun we had.  

Stirring up the dye vats.

There were bubbles in Sophia's pink dye.

Putting rubber bands on with Mason.

Here's their shirts before the dying.

Sophia being very gentle with hers.  

Mason's awesome orange tie dye.

Sophia's pink one.

Here's Matt's creation, I think he's the only one that knew what he was doing.

Our peace garden of tie dyed delights.

C'mon people now, smile on your brother.  Peace.

Spins

Some cool captures from the 4th of July weekend.  Mason and Sophia wanted to ride this spinny ride over and over again at the park.
