He says he's four

Happy Birthday Baby! My oh my I can't believe what a wild man this kid has grown to be. He is determined as ever. Zac has gotten awfully quick too - he speeds around this place and cuts the corners so close, I can barely stand to watch (and Daddy? he goes nuts). He still has a strong love for all animals - and loves all shows with them. I think he might just be a veterinarian. He is getting into dinosaurs more too. He still plays cars and trains and loves all ramps and racing things! Oh and if you ask how old he is, he replies "fffffffffffour!" Silly boy, guess he wants to be like Ava!

Apple Holler

We made the trip to Apple Holler a few weeks back and ran a-muck. Loved the goats and hay stacks mostly and did find our way through the kids corn maze with the directions of Ava and Jason. Of course we had our good friends join us there. We feed those goats silly, a Zac favorite.

Tae Kwon Do

Yes the lovely lady is now kicking and punching - and yes we are paying to allow her to do it! She loves it and has already advanced to a yellow belt for the Little Dragons. Funny thing is this was the class she selected from the park district. (It was between dance, gymnastics and Tae Kwon Do). Do you want to know the determining factor? Straight from her mouth was "I want a boy teacher". So Tae Kwon Do it is! Zac went along the one week to show his support. Ava is just outside the building after class showing us her form - Zac has his own ideas.

Have you seen these creatures?

Be on the look out for these new animal creatures! It was great seeing everyone at the zoo!

Zoo

Took the two kiddo's and meet Stephanie, Jason and Ari at the Zoo. Decided to finally see the Dinosaur exhibit. The kids were terrified, at least until we were done, then discovered it wasn't so scary! It was fun and a really great exhibit, not too big so perfect with the kids! The dinosaurs moved and roared (which was the terrifying part). They seemed to like the "baby" dinosaurs, but not the big ones! Of course we always love the goats!

Park and Great America

These are some of the places we just can't seem to get enough of.

Catching up

as I have some photos of fall to post already, so here are a few from the summer that I still wanted to share. These monkeys are awesome. Ava earned her yellow belt in Little Dragons Tae Kwon Do - she is too awesome I think! She LOVES to break their boards that they use. She is too much I tell ya. Right now she her favorite movie is Bratz - and Cloe is her favorite character. Of course she is blond just like her (and Hannah Montana and Sharpay). She reenacts the movie and talks to the characters all the time! Zac is as speedy as ever, running laps around our staircase has been a favorite activity around here. Still loving animals and now starting to get into dinosaurs too.
