Rozi, paint, and park

Drew lay down under the table and Zack came to lie next to him.


























The boys playing geo trax together













Drew in his "car." Drew tipped Zack's stool over and sat down. Zack pushed him around for a little while.











Zack in a box.













Zack was playing in the cozy coupe and asked for Drew to get in with him. Only problem was their little bums were too big, so the door would not shut.
















Amy looking up through the tires at the boys.













Amy and Drew went down the side and Zack came after. Zack thought it was really funny when he bumped into them at the bottom.
















Drew trying to climb up the slide.

Drew is more fun to paint on than the paper.













Nice hands Zack
































Even Drew thinks it is more fun to paint on him.













Three words: Chocolate chip cookie.


















Zack holding our friends' new baby, Rozi. He loves Rozi and always wants to go over and see her.

Houston Zoo

We decided to visit the Houston zoo for the first time since we moved here more than 5 years ago. Here is T-Rex and you would have thought my boys would have loved him. And maybe they would have if he did not move and roar at them.














Matt and a crying Drew in front of T-Rex


















Zack refusing to walk past the dinosaur. He had not let up till we took him to see the dinosaurs. Then he was too scared to go near them even though Amy promised him they were not real.










Drew playing behind a bench.













Holy horns. How can they even walk with those on their heads?












Zack and Drew playing on an elephant.


















A baby elephant



























Zack was more distracted by another little boy's car stroller and did not care about the giraffe.




































Giraffes













Drew playing with everything that he is not supposed to


















Drew having fun crawling around the little tunnels they have there for the kids to climb through











Drew just followed some kids through the tunnel while Zack refused to go through even after he saw Drew do it.

Misc

Drew wearing the kitty string around his neck. He likes to walk around with it and if it hangs long enough behind him, the cats will follow him.
















Zack's favorite place to look outside.


















Zack playing with his Percy and tracks.


















Drew playing with Sodor's train wash.


















Zack in front of our new hibiscus plants

The boys in Matt's hammock


















My love with craigslist. I found all these geo traxs on craigslist for only $50. And since they were in Katy, we went and visited Uncle Doug at the same time.










While in Katy, we found this train car and knew we had to go see it since both the boys love trains.












It was at a train museum so you could climb on it. The boys had a blast.












Zack wanted to "touch" the track. This translates to walk the track.












Drew climbing on Zack's stool. Drew likes to climb on everything he can get his little body onto.

















When we got home from our vacation we needed to clean our carpets. Drew was so tired that he fell asleep on our bed with the extremely loud carpet cleaner not even 5 feet away.
