Trip to the zoo

We fit right in.

Sunday mornings, continued

After we are done with the newspaper, our Mama checks her email. This morning, while whining that we wanted to help her, we discovered that the camera on the computer takes still pictures! So even though our Daddy is in Michigan this weekend, we can still bring you this up-to-the-minute image of our Sunday mornings at home.

No pictures, please

What, can't a girl haul a monkey around in a bucket anymore?

Sunday mornings

We enjoy lazy family Sunday mornings with breakfast and the newspaper. This past week, we grew impatient with not being allowed to sit at the table and read with our Mama and Daddy. So we dragged our booster chairs over to the table. Our parents took the hint, and and we had a very nice time.

Anna shows our Daddy the interesting parts of the ad papers.


Julia picked up a pen and start drawing on her paper, just like our Daddy does every day. He calls it 'Sudoku' and seems to concentrate really hard on it, but Julia says it isn't nearly that hard.

Campfire

Last week we went for a walk and picked up two bags full of leaves and sticks. That evening, we took our bags and some firewood and went to Promontory Point for a campfire.

There were a few false starts, but eventually our Daddy got a blaze going, assisted by the gale-force winds blowing in off the lake.

We were a little unsure of the fire at first.


After the fire was up and going, though, we got hot dogs and marshmallows and had a nice cuddle with Mama, Daddy, and Gramee.

Physics shills

While we may not look all that happy in this picture, we certainly attracted plenty of attention to the Physics table at our Daddy's work last weekend.

Garfield Park Conservatory

We took a sunny but chilly day and went to the Garfield Park Conservatory.

We enjoyed our first two trips down the slide, but the last one wasn't as fun.

Anna reluctantly posed for some pictures

while Julia was more willing to participate.

We showed our monkeys all the fish in the pond in the Fern Room and signed "fish" over and over again!

So cute

Could we be any more adorable?

Out to lunch

We were two hungry girls.

Physics lectures

Our Daddy tries hard to prepare good lectures, but he works with some pretty dry material. We try to make sure he livens them up with some facts about balls, cows, or telephones.

Listen up, I'm about to give you some really good stuff.

Got it, Daddy? Good!
