Estella Draws

After breakfast, Estella sat and colored with markers. She brought this out to Robyn a little later. This is the first realist piece she has done. Up until now it has all been pretty abstract. She described the piece as herself on the left, dada on the right and mama in the middle with all her babies.

Stroller Day At The Zoo

Lately, when I go out with the kids alone, I have been holding them both with Estella doing some walking. They are getting heavy. Between the two of them right now I think they are Estella (~32 lbs) and Blaise (23 lbs) about 55 pounds. Try carting 55 lbs around the zoo. Ouch.

So today was stroller day at the zoo.

We had fun hanging out in the brown bear/otter/mountain goat exhibit. They have a heated viewing room that is a perfect stop for a snack, climb on the platforms and play on the bronze otter sculptures. It was a cold day at the zoo and most of the animals were out of view or in their indoor pens. The bear was right in his little cave which has a window viewer that puts you a foot away (through super thick glass) from a Grizzly. We saw a mouse in the orangutan's indoor exhibit scavenging food.

We ended the night at Dick's Drive-In eating a yummy, though greasy dinner. On the way there Estella suggested we eat in the car. The kids mostly fight over the vanilla milk shake.
