These are totally just random phone pictures that I’ve taken over the last couple of weeks.

We have been in Idaho for about 16 days and are already dealing with our second illness. We had been here just under a week when Waldo started to feel very tired and the next thing you know he’s got a slight flu or something, the next afternoon I come down with it. It lasted about 4 or 5 days. Lily was a little trooper, she never got it and had to deal with us not being up to do anything, but watch movies and snuggle. She got really bored, but did great. We all felt better for about a week and were very thankful because we are moving into the new house this weekend. So of course Lily’s nose started to run last night and she kept being woke up because she needed to cough. I feel so bad for her and myself because my throat is very sore. This new germ thing totally sucks.
A few nights ago Waldo was cleaning Lily up after dinner and he blamed something on her. I said “don’t throw Lily under the bus” and her response was:
I had to have her repeat it once I got my phone off the counter and now she says it all the time.
We tried having a tradition of getting a ice cream to share when we went to the zoo. We’ve only done it like 3 times so far. This happens to the last times that we went.
Lily and Waldo playing in the back yard. He’s listening to her tale.
We celebrated 6 weeks of vegetarian eating by going out for Round Table. It was SO good.
Yes we went to the zoo again. In fact it was less than a week after the last time. What can I say, we love the zoo and are trying to get our moneys worth out of the annual membership. This time we took my niece Olivia with us. I was a little worried about having two toddlers at the zoo, but Waldo was there to help and they are both pretty well behaved.
We picked Livi up and headed out.
We bought two little water spraying fans because we knew how hot it was from the last time we were there. The girls spent the first 45 minutes or so watering the zoo.
You get the idea. Lots of water being sprayed at the zoo, very little of it being used to cool anyone off.
How fricking sweet is this? They were watching the ant eater, but seriously who cares about the animal, look at those girls.
We tried something we hadn’t done before at the zoo. We went to the bird show. We were sure the girls would have a blast.
They couldn’t have cared less.
Waldo and I thought it was awesome!
This guy wasn't part of the show, but he didn't want to be forgotten. He stood like this for probably 10 minutes. It was really cool.
We walked through the petting zoo, but only Livi was interested. I think Lily was too tired to care. We stopped at the kangaroos right before the petting zoo and Lily laid down on the ground. When I asked her if she was ok, she told me “I’m very tired”. I wish I had gotten a picture of it.
Next we hit up the rainforest hopping to get cooled off a bit. We didn’t.
On our way to the tiger Livi sat down to mess with her shoe. Lily thought it was a good idea.
I did not.
We stopped by the elephants on the way out.
Livi was asleep before we left the parking lot and Lily was asleep just before we got home. Thankfully they both survived the transfer to the house and stayed asleep for another hour or two.
Then we went swimming at my Aunt’s house.
We had a great day with both girls. They were so cute together and it is one of the biggest reasons that I’m sad that we are moving again (post coming soon). I’m trying to plan another trip to the zoo with Livi and her Mama before we go.
For those of you keeping score, we’ve been to the zoo 7 times this year. I think if we go once more we will have paid for our membership. I’m pretty happy about it.
