On Sean's birthday, he mystically and magically and miraculously had the day off. So we had to pack in a lot of fun. He started out opening presents and set up his very own hammock. It's family sized and awesomely comfortable (when not being mauled with six elbows). A few days later, he told me, "I'm trying to decide the best present you've ever given me. It's either flying an airplane or the hammock." Seriously? This is pilot comparable? Whatever you say, Mr. Relaxation.
Then we visited the Como Zoo
It must be nice to have a built-in beak blanket.
Monkey.
Monkey hangs.
Caged monkey.
Lemur (a nickname for our Liam)
mus-DASH
That's one slick seal.
Can you see all three?
You'd almost want to cuddle with it if you didn't know better.
The giraffe is leeeaning just over that electrified fence to get that fresh grass.
I caught this one at a bad moment.
So I got him at a better moment.
I saw the sign saying "please do not climb" as they were halfway up. Still took the picture. (are these really not here for climbing?)
Back home, a little hammock snuggle again.
Followed quickly by a hammock nap.
For dinner, we tried the Sea Salt Eatery- delicious! There was a folksy band who invited the the kids up to play along.
Grey making sure he's doing it all right.
In action!
The Sea Salt Eatery is right next to something fun. What might it be?
Minnehaha Falls!
"I just want to see!"
We took an amble around.
This is the same fall we saw frozen in the winter. Much narrower when thawed.
We finished out the night with a game of Pandemic. That's one good start to a new year! Happy birthday, honey!
