It’s been a while since we’ve posted a video of Jack, but I couldn’t resist this one. Jack was a little manic on Friday night when Joe got home from work (this is how we know he’s tired, oddly.) So Joe was playing with him on the floor and Jack was basically beating him up. Click Here to watch.

Yesterday we decided to head over to the zoo. Jack and I go quite a bit, but Joe doesn’t get to go that often and there is so much to see. First, the tiger was trying to get in the door of his night house. I think he was hungry.















(Can you see the tiger? He’s very hard to find.)

Then we looked at some Meerkats. Even though we couldn’t see any of the animals, Jack was impressed with their home.


























Please notice he’s being carried. He didn’t want to sit in the stroller. When we put him back in, this was his attitude:





















So Joe thought up a handy solution – shoulder rides! You can see how happy this made Jack:















Here, he his making his trademark “ohhhhh” sound:





















We headed off to the children’s zoo, the boys rushing ahead and me pushing an empty stroller.















We finally got some pictures of this goat combing that goes on in the petting zoo:















And although this looks a little like crying, he’s actually about to sneeze:















He also enjoyed combing the dirt:

















and crawling under the benches:















(please notice the new shoes. We finally found some shoes he can’t take off and don’t pinch his feet.)

It was a great day – the weather was perfect and Jack was having fun with his dad.















Today Uncle Travis is coming for a visit before the football games. Jack is looking forward to seeing him and is even dressed up in his Snoopy outfit Travis gave him for his birthday. I’ll be sure to get a few pictures!
