The KidZone

We made it from Africa to North America and we were still alive!!! Almost at the very end of the Zoo is an area called KidZone with hands on stuff that kids can do. Greyson loved it. His favorite was the garden. He kept coming back to us saying, "I'm done" and then a second later would say, "Oh, Oh, I gotta go work." He is so cute. He liked the little fishing pond too. The KidZone seemed to be the perfect little pick-me-up. Daddy and I will have to remember that! Enjoy the pics!

The ZOO!!!

After about what seemed like two months of rain (not really but it seemed that way), we decided to take advantage of a beautiful Saturday and venture down to the N.C. Zoo. Mommy and Daddy forgot how much walking it was!!! The weather was beautiful and a lot of the animals were in quite the photogenic mood!! Greyson said that his favorite were the giraffes although they stayed pretty far away. The polar bear was feeling very friendly!! Greyson really enjoyed the "KidZone"...I'll post pics of that next. Emery did a great job but she did miss...well...all of it sleeping!!! All in all, it was a great day and we were all exhausted when we got home!! (A few more Saturdays like that and Preston and I will be in great shape by the end of the summer!)

Mr. Personality

Greyson does a very good job of making people THINK he is shy. But to those of us who know him, we know that he is the farthest thing from SHY. Here he is modeling the newest fashion in pajama wearing. I couldn't stop laughing at him and his eyes. He is a piece of work that Greyson!!!

Ready for Kindergarten?

Greyson amazes me EVERYDAY with something new. On this day, he was at the kitchen table "doing an art project" and picked up his safety scissors and just starting cutting away. Now granted he was cutting the sales ads and his coloring books into shreds, but I was more impressed with his motor skills than what exactly he was cutting. :-)

The Natural Science Center of Greensboro

For mommy's birthday present, B and PopPop gave our family a membership to the Science Center and Greyson, Emery and I checked it out today for the first time! It was so cool. We spent most of our time checking out the animals outside in the mini-zoo. There is still so much to see next time. We are going to enjoy this place so much. Now we can go to the Science Center and the Children's Museum!! Grandparents are the BEST!!!

Check out these cool pics of some of the animals. Greyson loved the goats the best because he could touch them. I loved the tigers because when one of them saw us, she charged the plexi-glass viewing area and knocked her head into it! Let's just say....thank goodness for plexi-glass! It was a little scary. The Wallaby walk-through was cool too!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

We celebrated my birthday by going to dinner on Thursday and then again on Sunday in Henderson. Greyson was such a great "candle-blower-outer"! He loved licking the candles too! He's a chocolate lover just like mommy!!!

Happy early Birthday Greyson!!!!

For an early birthday present, B and PopPop got Greyson a swingset for the backyard. It took Daddy and PopPop a LONG time to set it up but it is finally nearing completion....enough for us to play on it already. Instead of two "big boy" swings, we put on sister's swing so that she could enjoy this new toy too! Here they are having a great time getting some fresh air. (Emery isn't quite as amused as Grey.) Isn't it awesome?
