What a Difference a Day Makes

Jake is terrible at being sick.  Now I know having the full on, gross out, feel-like-your-insides-might-be-coming-out flu isn’t at the top of anyone’s list.  But Jake is a particularly un-happy camper about the whole thing.  Suffice to say we’re all really happy he’s gone back to enjoying life because now we can all go back to enjoying life, too.  Love you bud, even when you’re puking your guts out at 2am!

 

To The Zoo

Grandpa John and Grandma Meri came to town, so to the zoo we went.  We saw lots of cool creatures and I decided I want a pet penguin.  Payton liked the elephants and Jake the tiger.  I do think Payton may have been subconsciously traumatized, though, since she’s been terrified raccoons will attack her every time we go out of the house after dark since visiting the ol’ zoo.  I didn’t bother telling her that I know firsthand that even a rabid raccoon probably won’t bite if you're careful.  I know.  I put one in the trunk of my car once.  In a paper bag.  With a pool noodle.  It's a long story.  Good times.

This Day

On this day we played, relaxed, loved, laughed. Together.
