We went to the zoo again today, as our final family activity before I go back to work Monday (blah). The zoo was very fun. Fox and I went into the butterfly display; we each got landed on. Fox had a big one land on the back of his head as soon as we got in, and then another one landed on my toe. I think he thought my bright red toenail was a flower of some kind. He must have wanted some food from me. I had nothing to offer. But it was fun to be there anyway. We don't have pictures of the butterfly place, but we did get some elsewhere. Here is Fox riding a turtle:
And here he is running along the path. He is getting very independent lately. And fast!
I tried to get a picture of Fox looking at the buffalo, but he was more interested in the construction of the new polar bear habitat, which was happening behind me.
Ok, that's it for the zoo. Last weekend we went camping with the rest of the Fischers/Hazelwoods/Sarahs. It was fun. Here is Fox hanging out with Grampa by the campfire. Featured in the background--our new tent, with no raccoon holes in it! Much improved from our last tent.
For Fox, the most fun was playing with Molly's cool hangout.
Here is poor Fox waking up from a nap in the hot, hot tent. Poor sweaty baby!
Near our campsite was a beautiful place to hike. Here is our family by a lake:
And here is Fox hanging out with Grampa at the rock beach. He had fun throwing rocks into the river.
That's it for now! I hope that even though the summer is ending, the fun will continue. Fox is looking forward to going to hang out with other kids while we are at work. He will be going to daycare with Shannon, our friend from church who took care of him the last quarter of the 07-08 school year, from when my maternity leave ended until when summer began. We are all very excited about it!
