It's a Zoo!!!

Time does certainly fly by.  It seems like we were just changing Sydney's diaper the other day (6 wipes of course), and now she is a full-fledged four-year-old who can already read and clearly has her own opinion...and she's happy to tell you what your opinion should be, too!  

We hope Corwin doesn't grow too, fast.  Among his list of firsts...he made his very first trip to the zoo, specifically Woodland Park Zoo.  He had a great time, even though it was mostly viewed from the double stroller, which doubled as protection from the occasional raindrops.
 
We lucked out and were able to see most of the animals that we had hoped, and managed to snap a few decent pictures.  Although we took some great pictures of bears, flamingos, and kangaroos, I thought it would be more interesting to share a few other pictures of descendants of the gorilla family...Sydney, Corwin, and Karen.  Sydney has been to this zoo a total of three times now, so we thought it would be fun to share the comparisons between visits.  Of course, you also get to see Corwin's first gorilla picture (hint, he's the one on top).

In other news, Corwin got to spend a little time with his bud Myles, also known as JP and Elyse's little guy.  They had fun exchanging, chewing, and drooling on toys.  All in all they had a great visit and talked mostly about the Sounders season so far, as well as general techniques they employ to keep their parents up at night.  Corwin certainly had much more to share on this front, as he is way more experienced at practicing this skill (basically a different way of saying Myles is a much better sleeper at night.

We also made a trip to Federal Way to participate in a fun run.  This fundraiser event helped to raise money for a good cause, but also gave us an opportunity to catch up with Suni and her family.  Sydney also got to enjoy a 'sleepover' with her friend Jayna.  We don't get to see them enough, but we enjoy every minute we get to spend with them.

 
 
 
We look forward to sharing pictures in our next post of Nana's visit from Montana.  She arrived two days ago, and it's already been a fun time.  Until then, have a great holiday weekend!!!

First visit.
