Niabi Zoo

One of our favorite places to go is the zoo.  I've always loved going to the zoo - really any zoo.  *laugh*  But the zoo we most often visit is of course local.  

We've had some trips to the zoo.  You love the train, and one of these trips would like to try feeding the giraffes.  

We just missed feeding time on our last trip, and you were quite disappointed!  (To be truthful, so were Gramma & I.)  

However,  you DID get to feed the goats, and that was lots of fun!  Their tongues are tickly!  And a little slimy, of course, requiring a good hand sanitizing afterward.  ; )  

Later this summer, Gramma, Anthony, you & I will be going to the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago.  Gramma & I went last year to check it out, and we think you're really going to like it!  : )  


Love you!

Chick Fil A

So, recently you have made a best friend of the Cow from CFA.  

We go to CFA a lot.  Especially on Thursday.  Thursdays are Family Night, where kids meals are free, the Cow makes an appearance, and there's a craft for kids.  You've made a windsock, a flower pot (and planted a seed!), sand art, all sorts of things!  There was even face-painting once!  

You also really enjoy the play area.  

What we all enjoy is the chicken (delicious) and the fact that it's a Christian establishment.  The music played over the speakers is always uplifting, the staff is SUPER friendly, and usually there are books in the kids' meals instead of the traditional toys.  Love that they are encouraging kids to be smarter!  : )  


Looking forward to many more CFA visits w/ my favorite Leyton!  : )  

Daddy Time

Your dad learned everything he needed to know about being a dad from our dad, Grampa Wulf to you.  When  you were little, your daddy worked 3rd shift, and wasn't able to spend a lot of time with you at night.  However, he saw you every day after work!  He also would hang out with all of us when he could.  Happily, sometimes I had my camera with me to capture some daddy/Leyton time!  : )  

Wrestling has also always been a big part of your growing up!  : )  

And at Christmas, well holidays in general, your dad always makes sure to spend time w/ his family.  : )  

*HUGS*  LOVE YOU!
