A Halloween preview.

One of our most fun family traditions is going to the Detroit Zoo Boo. We've gone every year with my parents since Alex was born with the exception of last year--because, you know, I was in the hospital doing some other things--but Alex and Samuel still went with Grammi & Poppi.

This year was another great memory maker. We had fabulous weather and I must say, my ladybug and train engineer were two of the cutest trick-or-treaters around!

Happy Halloween!

Or as Alex says, "Happy twick-or-tweety day!"

We took Alex to the Zoo Boo at the Detroit Zoo on Friday night with his Grammi and Poppi - what a FUN time! 

Then, on Sunday, we went back to ride the carousel and feed the giraffes--it was the last day of the season to do it and we've been promising him since about 1984. Oh, the irony.

Have a fun and safe night, everyone! And here's a TREAT from me: enter code 'DRUGSTORE40' at Walgreens.com to get 40 FREE 4x6 prints--through tomorrow, only!

The Cute Never Ends.

We visited the Zoo with Grammi and Poppi last weekend...it was perfect weather (unlike the last time when it was friggin' as hot as the sun) and we had a blast. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself:

Grammi showing Alex the birdies.

Riding a lion.

He was growling when I took this one. Hilarious.

At the hippo exhibit. 

Playing in the stream...which may or may not

have been temporarily closed. My bad.

Poppi with his people.

If I were still 12, odds are good I would

get grounded for posting this.

There's nothing cuter than grandparents pulling a wagon.

Have I mentioned they were high school
sweethearts? I know, adorbs.

I need to find a contest to enter this one into.

It's like my most favoritest picture, ev-ah.

See the creepy fish? Look closer...

Alex the eagle and Joe the ostrich.

Thanks for the fun day, Grammi & Poppi!

Vitamin Z.

We took Alex to the Detroit Zoo for the first time on Saturday. It was friggin' as hot as the sun, but worth all the memories.

Pimpin' in his new (and so totally awesome) wagon.

Seals. By far his favorite exhibit.

What's that? Oh, it's BUCKETS OF SWEAT

pouring down my countenance.

Another reason wagons are superior to strollers
once they reach a certain age.
He cashed out just before the
lions and slept the rest of the day...
