Helping daddy open his Father's Day gift that Logan made at daycare.
Family picture before going to the safari...ok so it was REALLY sunny out.Luckily, Logan fell asleep in the car on the way there and slept while we waited in line (for what seemed like forever) to get in. I guess everyone thought it would be a great idea to get there when it opened. Scott and I talked about whether it would be best to take our own car through the safari or to go on the bus. In the end, we went in our own car thinking that we would hopefully see more and be able to do it at our own pace, which is very important with Logan. We made a great choice! Logan sat up front on my lap and really did pay pretty good attention to the animals outside. Although I think his favourite things would be turning on the 4-way flashers and the windshield wipers...haha.
Positioned on mommy's lap, all ready for the action!
A lion - the animals were all SO active...they were roaming all over the place, right up to car windows and across the road, such a neat experience.
Ok mom, take another one of me now!
After some discussion, we did decide to go through the monkeys...no damage to our car, but man they are ALL over the place.
If you look closely, you can see the monkey jumping on that vehicles roof top carrier. They kept climbing up and taking turns.
Monkey on our roof...his foot coming down onto the windshield.
Climbing down the back window. Two monkeys rode on our car until the end of this exhibit, once we got to the end they jumped off on their own and headed back to where all the others were.
An ostrich tapping on our window...Logan thought this was so neat.
A rhino peeing...Scott thought this was SO funny so he took a picture.
I LOVE giraffes...this one had it's legs spread apart so he could lean down and drink.
Crossing in front of our car.
Near the end, Logan was getting really antsy, so he helped daddy drive.
Trying on daddy's glasses.
Three of us on the train (ok, so I need to work on the self portrait thing).
Serious boy on the train.
He got that pail as part of his lunch and lugged it all through the splash pad.
Splashing
Going down the slide...I took this shot from the top. Logan went down the slide backwards, crawling the whole way. I think there were way too many kids there for him, he was so distracted.
Walking through the water.
I was sitting on the edge watching while he and Scott roamed through the water. Logan kept running out of the water and sitting up on the edge, it was funny.
When we were getting ready to go, we had Logan half undressed (just in his swim diaper) and he got up and ran towards the water. He looked so funny in his little diaper and hat and white pasty body!

I took this when we were waiting to go on a train ride. Sometimes Logan is SO serious and is just always thinking...this pose really captures him.

Tired boy, ready to go home.

Our next few weekends are pretty busy with BBQs and other summer fun, but possibly the most exciting news is that I'm on the countdown to be done work! My last day is July 31...only a few weeks left to go. I'll have at least a month (hopefully more) at home with Logan before the new baby makes his or her appearance.
Happy Father's Day!

So cute! I've never been to the African Lion Safari either but it looks like you guys had a great time!
That serious boy looks just like his mother used to. :-) Great pics and I like the written parts too! And I get to see my boy every week, but there is always something new for me! Super!
