We’re Friends of the Zoo this year, so we’ve gone three time so far. Fall is definitely the best time to go. There are no crowds, and the cooler weather means more active animals. I have to give credit – most of these photos were taken by my increasingly photo-savvy husband. 🙂
Baby K got a chance to test out this awesome trike last weekend! She’s still a little small, but she’ll be riding one before we know it.
I took this photo about a week ago, but as usual, I’m behind on photo editing/posting. Baby K doesn’t pull up yet, but if we prop her up against our ottomans, she can stand by herself for about a minute. So big!
Again, it’s hard to believe another month has passed. She just moved to a new room at daycare where they have scheduled nap times, so she’s sleeping a little less than normal. Since she was tired, she was pretty grouchy for this pictures – no smiles this month.

Here are a few photos from our family get-together. You can’t beat an evening of croquet on the lawn and s’mores on the fire pit!
This weekend during a family get-together, I let my eleven-year-old nephew experiment with my camera. He asked a great question about making part of the photo blurry, so I did my best to explain depth of field to him. He took all of these photos below – on manual mode. I think he truly has an eye for photography!
One of the aspects I love about where I live is that despite the size (pop. ~30,000), and the location (the Midwest), there are still fun things to do. The Matha Lafite Thompson Nature Sanctuary is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon. We’ve taken a picnic and gone on a few hikes there twice now, but this was the first time with Baby K. Saturday felt like a nice day, until we started hiking in the sun. It was hot. We saw a lot of small wildlife though, and it was so nice to have a laid back Saturday afternoon – the first one in months! If only we had Labor Day once a week instead of once a year!
Our cat Emmett has a new best friend. He’s in for a real treat once Baby K starts crawling!
Baby K is just starting solids – so far she’s gobbled up her cereal, sweet potatoes, carrots, and peas. She’s still at the stage where messy eating is cute!
This is the third and final installment of photos from our Rocky Mountain National Park vacation. This is the one my friends will enjoy the most, and my fellow bloggers could care less about.
