We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo

How about you, you, you? We went to our local zoo over the weekend (free in the winter!).

Waaay in the background, you can see a Tamarin that had Toddler Wily squealing for ages.

Jeneric spent a good portion of time with her hands over her ears because many of the animals were too loud.

Loud peacocks...

Loud lions...

Random Wednesday

Someone learned how to do back flips... sort of. And that same someone decided to teach her sister... sort of.

RIF

Reading is Fundamental! Does anyone else remember that ad campaign? It was out around the same time as Woodsy Owl (Never be a dirty bird!). But I digress. Jeneric and Toddler Wily are enormous reading fans. In the past few days, Jeneric has taken to reading to Toddler Wily.

And every so often, the girls convince someone else to read them a story... or four.

Where's the hippo?

For Christmas, Jeneric and Toddler Wily received the fantastic book, Hidden Hippo (thank you!). This is Toddler Wily's favorite book - we read it at least once a day. We caught her on video helping Jenni read the book and find those hidden hippos.

General silliness

Grandma and Grandpa (from Minnesota) visited this week as Jenni and Eric jet-setted around the country.

Jeneric went to ballet class.

There was a trip to the 4H and butterfly gardens.

There was silliness.

And Slinkys.

Silly walks.

And reading - lots of reading.

Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!

Spring was here

and we do have proof. See?



But it snowed on Saturday and Sunday was gloomy and cold. Warmer temperatures will return this week and perhaps the Wily Jeneric family will squeeze in a bike ride (or two!).

Disney, Part 4

We'll finish up our Disney series with a bit of random.

We visited Mickey's Speedway where Grammy let Jeneric drive!
