Zoo part 2 and Home

Here we are out by the polar bears. There was a sign that suggested this was Kodak moment.

This rhinoceros appeared to be posing for all of us. Some other women taking pictures near me commented how we could try to enter this into some photo competition (if there were such a thing).

We had so many cute pictures of MJ sleeping near us. I couldn't pass this up.

Tuesday morning we left Mario and headed back home. It took about 45 minutes longer than it should have because I was tired and took an extra stop. (I was happy to only take 2 stops on the way from VA to OH). But I figured making it home alive vs falling asleep while driving was the better choice.

Both boys seemed very happy to be home. Since we've been back, MJ has been very intersted in band and music. He found his drum and has been marching around the house and occastionally singing the ND fight song too. Sometimes I play with him (I'm so proud of me for teaching myself how to play the fight song on the 8 key play piano the boys have). He loves to watch videos of the band and drumline. See, we aren't just brainwashing him about football. We're just trying to provide him with enriching experiences. We hope to encourage him to be a well-rounded kid.
