Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

We took Jackson to the Minnesota Zoo today; it's his second trip this summer. He just loves the monkeys, fish, dolphins and bears. We went and saw a bird show while there and he saw his very first Bald Eagle. Quite a big sight for such a little guy. We discovered the huge sandbox they have for the wee little ones and the water fountain that the Zoo has for the little ones to run around and cool off in. He LOVED that!

Labor Day Grilling with Mimi & Papa

Mimi & Papa hosted us for some turkey burger and corn on the cob (or mac & cheese if you were under the age of 2) this weekend. Jackson showed Mimi & Papa how well he plays the bones and Mimi taught Jackson how to properly manuver a grocery cart. This will come in handy once he turns 16 and Mama makes Jackson do all the grocery shopping (oh the joys of motherhood).

Jackson's State Fair Debut

We took Jackson to the Great Minnesota Get-Together this weekend. He got to see horses, cows, goats, sheep, pigs, etc. He even was able to touch one of the dairy cows. He was hesitant at first but then he went right up and pet him...and then ran for his life! ;-) He had a great time and was amazed to see all the animals that he's been learning about for so long.

Our latest discovery...

I can't say that I'm proud; but I knew it was going to happen soon. He found his nose and discovered what fun it can be to stick his finger up his recent find. He thinks it's hiliarous and I don't blame him. Every time he does it we laugh and make a joke out of it. One of these days that will have to end...
