Brookfield Zoo in Chicago

Last weekend the temp actually hit 50 degrees! We took advantage by driving over to
Chicago to the zoo. Jacob had a blast. He really loved the dolphin show! He's never seen dolphins and he can't wait until he gets to go to another show. I can't wait for Spring!

1st day at the park!

What a wonderful day we had at the park!

Me and Tony enjoyed ourselves, too.

This was the first day that the weather was

nice enough to play outside. Jacob

loves this park, especially the slide!

Clowning around with momma!

What a kodak moment for me! I know that one day I won't have these kisses to make my day. So I gladly take them whenever I can get 'em!

Jacob is really into sunglasses. So far he has gotten 3 new pair this year. These are just "plain old glasses". Even though they are brand new from Old Navy, they don't have cars, batman, or spider man on them. These should just go in the garbage and he can wear the cooler ones! He should get a job to help pay for the extravagances that we are constantly buying!

Jacob loves magic markers! He makes sure

that you see the finished product, including the marks

on his face. He also picks out his own pajamas.

Notice how well Lightning McQueen goes with safari animals!

These blocks make an awesome tower! Jacob likes to tell Granny how it's supposed to be built. He doesn't like to build it by himself. So he begs Granny to get in the floor to play with him. But he really means "you sit in the floor and watch how I do it". But anything at Granny's is the best thing in the world!

And here is the favorite thing to do to a completed tower. The only point in stacking things as high as he can reach is to see how fast he can knock them down!
