May 13, 2009

Pool time continues - its hot outside



in and out

Daddy joined in too...it's really hot some days
Sometimes we also let Jonas have the hose to fill up the pool...
his aim is sometimes a little off..
pointing at Anika helps...
she does eventually get pay-back...

Pool time

so Mom and Dad went got something a little bigger than the tub...

Jonas is staying away while Anika still has the hose in her hand

that hose

then there's finally enough water in the pool - splish splash time

Jonas takes a running start to jump in


That night there was a big thunderstorm and with a rather impressive lightning strike and loud bang, our electricity went out. took these guys a few hours and a few trips up the power-pole in the yard to get the lights back on. Jonas was "scared Bang", but did enjoy the bucket trucks in front of the house while the repair was underway.
Jonas promptly started sleeping in Anika's bed...

Daddy has grabbed the hose...stop spraying us!

Mama's taking is to the zoo today, zoo today....
I'm ready for the zoo...are you?
the usual suspects

we can never get close enough to the snakes
and the cockatoo's
"Anika, don't stick you fingers in there, they bite!!"
Too late. One of the birds took a nibble of one of Anika's fingers. You'd think she learned from Mika NOT to get your fingers too close. After much drama she wanted to sit in the baby stroller finger hurt too much to walk.
Bucky & Jack

Climbing "Mount Dirtmore"..one of the most important attractions for the kids at the zoo....go figure

Up and down

and everybody down

yep, you too Mister, it's time to move on.
Snacktime
Share?
Then Snow-cone time
can you guess what color my snow-cone was?
Silly boys

Long hot day...Jonas finally gave in

and didn't even wake up when transported to the car
