You can't see it in the picture, but Will is looking at a hyacinth macaw up in the trees. He loved it so much.
Watching the new baby elephants.
The most exciting part of the day was seeing a deer hanging out at the edge of the park. Will talked to it for awhile.
In case you can't make out what he's saying, after Lorne asks if Will likes the deer, Will says, "Hi deer! What are you eating for lunch? Oh! Some leaves!"
A terrible picture of how Evie toured the park.
Wild Animal Park is exhausting.
After the animal park we went up to Grandma Jo's and had dinner.
A better picture of Evie in her red dress.
On Monday Evie and Will both came down with some congestion and a cough. They tried to hug it out.
But that didn't convince the illness to go away.
On Tuesday we tried to capture Evie smiling on camera.
Mostly, we didn't do a very good job. We almost caught it in this one:
On Wednesday, Will serenaded us.
And we dressed Evie in pajamas that called her a boy.
On Thursday, Evie refused to smile again.
On Friday we had been cooped up in the apartment with the sickness for five days. Will had some cabin fever.
Luckily, the pediatrician called and let us know that Evie's test for whooping cough came back negative.
Hooray!
Will was pleased too.
On Saturday, Lorne took Will and Evie to the zoo so Laurel could take some time to herself. There are no pictures of the zoo, as it turns out, wrangling two children on your own does not leave you enough hands to also wrangle a camera. While they were gone, Laurel changed her hair.
When Will got home, he began crying. "That's not Mommy!" was repeated over and over as he crawled away on his hands and knees.
He got over it though.
Evie got this sweet dress from our friends David and Katie. Hooray for polka dots!
