Stay Happy!

We just had a very lovely weekend with Flum’s family. They were in town for a spectacular wedding celebration! It was really fun and we’re so happy for the……happy couple. Smile But I won’t be showing you any of our pictures from the weekend because I haven’t retrieved them from the memory card yet.

Since last we wrote, we’ve been to a couple zoos. It’s such entertainment to go to a zoo with kids. It’s also fun to have opportunities to talk with zookeepers. At the zoo in Duluth, we were able to chat with the zookeeper in the nocturnal area. We learned a bit about the fox and some nocturnal cats for which I cannot remember a name. We also go to see them feed the Kodiak bear an afternoon snack of cantaloupe!

A Bear was trying to get through the glass to give that lynx a hug!

One upon a night, K Bear and Flum went to find a game. A while later, I went in and found this: Flum tripped* and fell onto the bed, and K Bear was rolling over him repeatedly.

“Phoebe! Up!”

*I cannot claim this part to be 100% true.

While down at Canal Park, we were fortunate to be able to see a ship come in. No matter how many times I see it, it’s still amazing to me. (In college, we saw one come in from GERMANY! You can take a boat from Germany to Minnesota! Isn’t that crazy amazing?!)

playing together!

And speaking of playing together, this morning when Micah and I woke up we heard through the kid monitor the boys playing together. They were blowing raspberries at each other for a little while and giggling. Then we hear K Bear say “I’m going to go downstairs. Stay Happy! Ok? STAY. HAPPY.”

And so to you, my friends & family, I say: stay happy! Smile

  1. STAY.HAPPY. is TOO.CUTE.!!! and it’s an excellent salutation!

    the daddy face also makes me laugh. W will draw pictures of daddy when he’s mad.

    thanks for more pictures. LOVE IT!! and it might help me to post more when my sisters do….no pressure….8]

  2. I thought it was funny that after thinking for a little bit about what a daddy face would be that he just went with a variation of the scary face. If only because daddy is SO not scary!

  3. looking at it again – daddy face also involves looking down his nose at you. ha!! =]

    your boys are CUTE

  4. Even before I read the caption under the nest picture I was smiling. Too funny. How creative of Flummery to invent a game where he HAS to lie quietly on the bed. :-) Great pictures. Looking forward to the ones from the wedding weekend.
