Talking to Brooksie online

These pictures are from June 8.

That morning, we met Carla and Parker at a park. Henry found a poodle that he really liked.

That afternoon, Leo chatted with Brooksie (my mom) about his upcoming visit to Monroe. I hooked the laptop up to the tv so he could see the chat really big. He liked that.

Brooksie asked Leo to make a list of everything he wanted to do in Monroe. That middle thing is "Piccadilly" - which is a cafeteria in Monroe. Think Luby's.

FW Zoo Member Appreciation Days

We have memberships to just about everything kid related in DFW, just in case someone hasn't figured that out. ha! During June, they have early entry on Mondays to the FW Zoo with talks by the keepers. (Confidential to the FW Zoo - Dallas Zoo has 9am entry EVERY.DAY. Just FYI. Everybody talks about how awesome the FW Zoo is....but we really like Dallas better.)

On M June 7, they boys and I went to the zoo. We really had a great time.

FW Zoo has a great new exhibit called the Museum of Living Art. This is a code name for "New Reptile House."

There was a zookeeper talking about the Aldabra Tortoises. They are huge! The zookeeper had carrots for him, but he really wanted a neckrub.

Leo made sure that Henry got to pet the animals. I can't remember what they petted, but that's not important.

At this point in the trip...the boys discovered that they could (a) use the camera and (B) pull the cooler. Someone took a lovely picture of me pulling the cooler.

This is my Summer 2010 invention....using a hand truck to pull coolers. I saw this hand truck at Costco for $20, and I put it in my cart as quickly as possible. It has been great for pulling different sized coolers all over the place this summer. While we were at the zoo, the boys loved pulling it. That has its own issues, but it was briefly positive.

I took this clandestine picture of this mom's getup. She was with another mom friend...she had at least one preschooler...and she was in a silky dress and these sandals....for a day of walking at the zoo???? Honestly, how do they do it? I am greased from head to toe in sunscreen, I have on a hat, shorts and a breathable shirt, and the most sensible shoes I own. I just don't understand how this is possible?

Lunch. Whatever we carry has to be strapped to ME in some form or fashion. I couldn't figure out plates today, so we used cloth napkins. Worked great.
