A few smiles and giggles...

So today we took another trip to the zoo.  The boys just love it there and we have really enjoyed it as well.  We have a 2 year family membership so we will be making many trips over the next 2 years.

B is quite fond of the lemurs on Lemur Island.  The lemurs were active today jumping from limb to ground.  The boys really enjoyed watching them play around.

J seems to really get a kick out of watching the seals swim down in the underwater viewing area.  He gets very excited when they swim by and does this cute sound and wiggles his arm.  It is quite precious - I wonder what is going through his little mind when they swim by.  :)

We also confirmed that the polar bear is indeed alive.  LOL.  He always seems to be so lazy and just lying around.  Well we just happened to stop back by his exhibit on the way out.  There was no one up there so we had a nice view of him laying on the rock.  Well right after we walked up, he started getting up and easing his way down off of the rock and toward the water.  We watched him as he ever so slowly got into the water.  He finally ended up getting in and swimming around a little.  That was very fun for the boys to see.  Too bad we forgot our camera.

The picture of the ring-tail lemurs above is from last week's zoo trip.


So after the zoo trip, we headed to Wal-mart to pick up a few things...
Before we went in I was using this waterless hand cleaner stuff to clean the boys hands.  It is in a spritz bottle of sorts.  Each time I would spritz it, J would just giggle and smile and hold out his hand for me to do it again.  Needless to say, his hands were clean by the time we actually went in the store.  :)

While we were there we picked up a spray bottle for him to play with since it seemed that he was just tickled to play with the stuff in the truck.  As soon as we got back to the truck, I put some water in the bottle and showed him how to use it.  It made his day!!!  He LOVED it!!!  He was giggling, smiling and carrying on.  It surely made my day to see him so happy.  He played with that thing until he fell asleep on the way home and then B took over with it.  It really is the simple things in life that bring the most joy to our hearts - no matter what age we are.  I sure felt joy in mine today.
