Zoo

We went to the zoo again this weekend and Janie just loves the flamingos.  She even tried to be one.

The penguins were pretty funny today too.  One of them was swimming really fast and then doing jumps out of the water.

The hippo statue is always a hit and today she said she was “driving”.

Our almost-3-year-old was looking pretty sassy today with her hands on her hips.

There were lots of flowers to pick this morning.

At 11:30, we snagged a good spot at the grizzly bear pond.

They threw live trout into the pond and the bears caught them right in front of us.

Janie got a little scared when one of them got up on her hind legs and walked really close to the glass.

Janie took a peacock picture today and I found  her first one from 10/6/13.  These pictures are 18 months apart.  What a difference!

For lunch, we had some pho and Janie gobbled it all up.

Such enthusiasm in this little one!!

Our last stop before heading home was 99 Ranch Market.  She really liked seeing all the live seafood.

On our way home, she passed out and slept for a good two hours when we got home.  It was a very exciting morning.

Tuesday with Mommy

Mommy had a doctor’s appointment so Janie didn’t go to school.  Instead, she spent the day tagging along.  We were up early to catch the train to the hospital.

The ultrasound appointment was going to take at least an hour so Janie watched Finding Nemo on her iPad.

After the appointment, we rode the train all the way down to the the mall to return some stuff and then walked down to the Ferry Building to buy some fruit.  One of Janie’s favorite stores is Sur La Table because of all the cool spoons and kitchen gadgets that she can see and touch.

As a special treat, she got some chocolate and vanilla swirl soft serve in a cone.  That is pure joy in her face.

Before heading home for a nap, Janie walked around to taste some fruit and practiced walking on the glass blocks.

Daddy had to work late that evening, so we went out for Thai food.

IMG_3757

We ordered her favorite, Tom Kha Soup, and she gobbled up all the mushrooms, tofu, and cauliflower before slurping up the soup.

She also had some of Mommy’s Pad Thai.  This is how she prefers to eat her noodles lately.

What a fun and productive no-school-no-work day!!

visiting the giraffes

IMG_9552

Janie’s favorite animal is the giraffe (duh!) and since she still gets so excited to see them in books and videos, we thought it would be appropriate to take her back to the zoo to visit her very tall pals.  When we arrived, she immediately spotted on in the distance and reached her hand through the fence as if she could touch it.  And of course, she yelled out “GG!”

She also wore her giraffe shirt since she’s a super fan.

She also discovered curbs recently.  Stairs are old news.

Curbs are so hot right now.
