Spring Day at the Zoo

Since the spring weather has been so wonderful this year, we were able to do outside exhibits at the zoo much earlier than we ever have before. We took a Saturday afternoon with the Cook's and the Cain's and had a wonderful time. There were about 5,000 other people at the zoo that day, but we had fun.

Ryan gets to see the gorilla up close. Still too young to be afraid of him, what a great age to go to the zoo.

Corey and Matt discussing how they would shoot the ducks....Jake stuck in the middle.

Oh look, it is Michelle and Jen!

Trying to get Colin to pose for pictures is harder than it used to be. The attention is not 100% on him now, so he doesn't love his picture being taken. This one shows how wonderful Colin is with Ryan! They are such good friends already.
Ryan loves watching out the window. His favorite is to watch Colin in the garage playing basketball.

The cat now has a permanent toy - as Ryan crawls away, the cat thinks he is playing with him. Ryan loves it until the cats claw makes it threw his fleece jammies.

She is no longer safe

LOVE THIS ONE!

Ryan is very intrigued by Savannah, Savannah tolerates Ryan very well. Wherever Savannah is, Ryan seems to find her and just squeeze her fur. Savannah will sit there for about 30 seconds and then she is off to another spot. It takes Ryan about 5 minutes to find her and 10 more minutes to get to her, so she gets a little rest in between attacks.

Ryan's in to everything

Since Ryan already loves our cell phones, remotes and computers we decided to pull out Matt's 10lb laptop from 2003. :-) He loved pounding on the buttons and opening and closing it.

Ryan has now found the bottom of his excer-saucer, he is bored with the normal use. He loves playing peek a boo! As Ryan is on the move Colin is doing lots of writing letters and sounding out words. Matt and I can no longer spell things out without him trying to sound it out. Unfortunatley, the stomach bug hit the Steele house this past weekend. So far, Colin was the only one to get it and hopefully it stays that way. The little boys and I are on our own this week as Matt is at his annual national sales meeting. I was going to write where he is, but to be honest I am not 100% where he is. He is traveling a lot these days with his training position at Idexx and enjoys seeing new city's around North America. We miss him lots when he is gone, but makes it more special when he is home.

ON THE MOVE!

Colin's New Years Eve

Over Christmas break , Colin got a little sick of us and being inside, so Matt decided to give him something to do. Matt had Colin run to the end of the backyard and back up, TWICE. This may not be too far, but it is a hill and hard to go through because it is wild grass. It entertained him for about 25 minutes then it was back to questions and play time with mom and dad. Notice the green grass and NO snow on Dec 31st, 2011
