All things fun

The boys and I joined up with some friends this week and spent one fun morning cruising around Fresno's Chaffee Zoo. Just past the monkeys and right before the seals, we found them. The giraffes. Not only did we find them, thanks to a recommendation by Drew's little buddy Noah, we decided to feed them this time as well. We were the very first group to go, so the giraffes were eager to munch up the goodies we offered. I thought Drew might be a little intimidated and end up wanting to let me feed while he watched, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Drew not only loved watching his friends feed the giraffes, he loved feeding them himself! I had to hold him so that he would be tall enough for the giraffes to reach and he literally squealed with delight each time the giraffes reached down to grab their food. It was hilarious. Unfortunately because I was holding him, I didn't get any pictures of Drew, but I did get some cute pictures of everyone else.

Noah and his sweet Auntie Michelle. (Check out that tongue!! A little trivia for you? Giraffes can clean their own ears with that 18-21 inch long tongue!)

Although if you were to ask Drew about his day at the zoo, he might only mention the giraffes, we did have fun seeing the other animals as well.

Another thing I've been meaning to blog about for a while is Little Gym. About a year ago, Nathan's mom started taking Drew to The Little Gym each week as a sort of Grandma and Drew date day. Drew looks forward to it every week because he gets to swing on bars, sing fun songs, run around like a maniac, play with other kids, and have an hour or so of Grandma all to himself. I love it because he comes home exhausted!! This week I stopped by during his class to sneak in and grab a few pictures. 

At the end of every class the kids get to play with a huge bucket of balls (Drew loves this part)....

....and they get to play with the bubbles. They all want the bubbles blown onto their bellies, and as you can see, Drew is front and center for this part every time!

At the end of class they also get a few stamps on their hands. This week his teacher Miss Mariel was handing out stickers as well. No wonder Drew loves this place!!

And last, but not least, something for Poppi:

Guess who loves blueberries??  :)
