This is the picture that I colored at Applebee's. It looked a lot better before my dad stepped on it.

Visiting the Zoo

It was nice outside yesterday (relatively speaking), so my mom decided to take me and Ben to the zoo. First, we stopped at the Rainforest, because I needed a soft pretzel (I LOVE soft pretzels). As soon as we got to the zoo, we went up to the Primates, Cats and Aquatics building. Ben really liked it there. He thought that the monkeys were funny, but I think the sharks were his favorite. After that, we walked to Australia. It was closed, but we did see one kangaroo. Next we headed to the giraffes and then to the vet building. We saw the rhinos and went to the gift shop, then it was time to go home. My mom said that we'll get to go to the zoo more when the snow melts. That could take awhile.

The Museum of Natural History

On Wednesday, I went with my family to the Museum of Natural History. We had a great time! We saw dinosaurs, a glacier, planets, and lots and lots of animals. I also got to go to the Discovery Center, where I saw a real tarantula and helped my dad uncover a dinosaur head!

Sweet Potatoes and Turkey

Yesterday, my mom decided to give Benny sweet potatoes and turkey for dinner. It started out okay, but then Ben took over. The kid was out of control. He kept sticking his hands in his mouth when it was full of food. Then he grabbed the lid for the baby food. What a mess! He had to take a bath when he was done eating.

This is what Ben looked like before he started eating.

He sure thinks he's funny!
Here's Ben examining the baby food lid.

Here's a picture of me doing my chores.

Daddy's Loops

My daddy wears these weird looking glasses at work. I thought they were hilarious, so daddy let me try them on. Pretty funny, huh!?!

Benny on the Slide

Today was a pretty busy day. Mommy and I woke up early (by early I mean 8:30), but Benny slept in (until 9:30). I ate breakfast and watched "The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" while mommy gave Benny a bath. After that, we decided to meet our friends Caren, Colleen and Casey at the Rainforest. I was pretty excited to see them. We saw the animals and ate lunch, then it was time to go. Mommy had a BUNCH of junk to drop of at Goodwill, so we did that next. After that, we went to the mall. I rode the yellow horse on the merry-go-round, bought some books at the bookstore, played at the play area, and helped mommy find some clothes for Ben at The Children's Place. We didn't do anything new, but we sure had fun!!

Sledding

I got to go sledding for the very first time yesterday. It was SOOOOOO much fun! First, we put a ton of warm clothes on. Mommy wore a funny hat with her name on it. She's had it for 25 years! Some people might call that an antique (that's a shout out to you Grandma Linda). After we were dressed, we got in the car and drove to the park. Once we were there, we had to walk through a bunch of snow and up a hill. Finally, it was time to sled. The first few times I went by myself but, after falling off for the second time, I decided that I wanted someone to go down with me.
