Father's Day, Beach & Zoo

This past week has been a whirl wind of events. Last Saturday we had over our dads for dinner. The next day, Father's Day, we had a full day of church and packing.

This year Walker did not like the sand. We stayed at the beach maybe a total of 30 minutes the whole week. These two pictures were from the first day. After that, it was all pool all the time! Walker loves to swim in a pool!

Walker had to have his "gobbles" on all the time, even to watch X-Men, but didn't know how to use them. He never would put his eyes down in the water. We tried to explain but forget reasoning with the unreasonable.

Walker wanted to stay on the balcony most of the time to look at the beach.

I forgot my tripod, so we took turns taking pictures with Walker.

The scorching hot Birmingham Zoo is not a place for pregnant women... but I thought it would be fun to take Walker as we came back from the beach. We went to stay with Uncle Blake in B'ham to visit and go to the zoo so Walker and Beka's niece Virginia Kate could meet. They are one month apart in age. It was so funny watching them together. They were precious.

We disguised our anger very well in this pic... We were burning up and ill as pills. Walker had just finished a major temper tantrum, but we survived. LOL!

The kids enjoyed the water area at the zoo. The problem was... we went there before we saw all the animals and they didn't want to leave it. Walker made a scene which led to us leaving early...no big African animals. LOL!

We did get to go to the petting zoo, which the kids loved.


Here was the funny train ride, if you can tell what I mean. That's Beka, her sister Kristan, Blake, and Zac. Oh, I had to change Walker's poopy diaper on the train as well. People probably thought I was crazy.

We did see one big animal.. Here's Uncle Blake and Walker in front of "Tina." We watched Napoleon Dynamite that night. Thanks Beka. It was Hilarious!

This was so sweet. The monkey kept putting his hand up to the glass to touch their hands.

And then we went home!!!! We had a great time. It took us a day to lay around and relax. I'm glad we had a fun last family vacation with Walker before the baby comes.
