The Zoo!

Caleb's cousins, Seth and Ezra, are coming for a visit while their Mom and Dad are taking a trip to Chicago. To prep for the visit Caleb and his Mom spent some time coloring.

Once Caleb's cousins arrived there was a lot of playing. Caleb was worn out at the end of each day. Trying to keep up with the big boys is a ton of work. Caleb, Seth, Ezra, Margaret and Caroline took Missy, Kevin and Grandma to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium. The shark tank the the biggest hit! None of the sharks wanted their pictures taken (they've been burned by the zoo paparazzi before!). But the Big Ugly Fish (yes, that is the technical name) was up for a picture. The kids put on their best fish faces to thank him.

The remodel to the zoo is finished and it is great! We got to see a squid dissection - gross! Eat lunch and watch an animal show - cool! and play on the same type of toys the animals play on - really cool!

Seth and Ezra got to try out life as a hermit crab. Seth wasn't too sure about it, but enjoyed the crab's home. Ezra loved it. Notice the razor sharp pincher of a right hand.
After the day at the zoo everyone was wiped out, except for Seth. Ezra and Caleb both fell asleep on the ride home. They still got a while before they can keep up with Seth.
