A visit from Papa....

We had a great visit with my Dad this past weekend. It was Father's Day too - so I'm sure that was pretty cool for my Dad to be with his eldest child and first grandchild. :) It was a pretty relaxing visit - mostly hanging around the house and going with Brock's schedule, also because Brent and I ended up getting sick, so that wasn't very pleasant.

Between the time Brent was on the mend and my turn with the cold was just starting, we were able to get in a few things. On Friday night, we went down to Emerald Downs to watch the horse racing. Brent won once, but no one won big - even though my Dad's plan was to only gamble on the long shots.
There's a bear behind you Brock!
On Saturday, we traveled in to Seattle to walk around Woodland Park Zoo. It's not a big zoo and was just a perfect day for the three of us to walk and Brock to be pushed in the stroller.

Brock ended up taking a little nap while we were looking at the lions, zebras and giraffes. But he woke up in time for the flamingos and penguins. I think those were his favorite because they were close enough for him to actually see. He loved watching those pink flamingos though!

And one more picture of Brock - he's getting so big and strong! He's able to keep his head up for so long now! ....And he still loves his fingers.
He loves his Tigger from Uncle Andrew & Aunt Lauren!
