Summer Fun

So these last two weeks have been really cool. My mother-in law, Liz, took us to some fun wee places here in Oregon as we (well mainly Jack) were getting kinda restless in the house and just spending time in the garden. We ventured out to this gorgeous wee petting zoo in a place called Brooks, where Jack was able to hang out with some goats and ...well mainly goats...but it was pretty fun for him. Then we drove out to Lincoln City and hung out at the beach for the day. The weather had been so hot at home, but the minute we got to the beach it was windy and kinda cold. We still really enjoyed ourselves though and even got Jack to come paddle with us in the Ocean. He wasn't sure about the sand at first, but then couldn't get enough of it by the time we were due to leave. We got some fish and chips...they were not as good as the ones I had when I was at home though. But of course not!
Lastly, we went to the Portland Zoo. It was a brilliant day. I think Liz, Callie, and I enjoyed it more than Jack for the most part, but he did enjoy seeing the animals he could see up close.
He's been kinda grumpy for the last wee while, but it is all over for NOW...he has 2 new teeth. Four on the bottom now and still just two on top. He is babbling non-stop...I swear he really thinks he's talking and who knows, he might be soon. We are pretty sure he's saying "yes" and "hi" now, but who knows for sure at this point.

wow. that looked like a really fun and busy day. Congrats on the 2 new teeth Jack. I hate it when Abi gets teeth. She is working on #'s 7 & 8 and they keep going down and back up again. It is so sad but when they feel better again there is nothing better. :)

Jack looks so cute on that tractor!! I'm so glad your having a fun summer! Peyton has recently discovered the garden hose and loves to go outside and have me spray him. You'd think it would terrify him ... gallons of water hitting him but no, he just giggles and splashes around :)
