Reptile Gardens

The first night we stayed in Rapid City and took the boys to Reptile Gardens. Scott and I had been before and thought that Zane would like the animals! He did for the most part. They have alot of animals from birds to gators! He liked the bird show, gators, turtles and running around in the grass areas!






My favorite flower, orchid. We had one just like this for our honeymoon.

I see fish and turtles.

This flower above smelled like chocolate, I almost picked it and took it home!!

You could pet this snake, Zane looked like he wanted to touch it and when she bent down to let him is pulled away. He still would not touch it after Scott "petted" it. Me, I did not touch it.

They thought the big turtles were neat. Zane just sat down and started to pet them. He knocked on the shell as well, and made a funny face when he touched the skin.

This is a pararie dog town, you can go under it and come up in this little bubble! He was talking to Scott and pointing them all out. He thought they were great. When I told my parents this they laughed because they have a large amount of gophers they are trying to get ride of.

Road Trip!!!

These are random photos of the kiddos during the trip, Zane would read a book drop it on the floor, and ask for another! It made it nice until we opened up the back doors and the toys and books all fell out!! I took lots of things for him to keep him happy and it worked!!

I felt bad, I did take pictures of Tyson, but not as many with Zane running around and doing things!! So I reached around and took a few shots of him while we were driving!! He did really well in his seat. He would talk and coo a lot and of course we had a couple of break downs, but they were minor!

He looked so darn cute sleeping!!

All ready to go with his monkey pillow!!

Fair Time!!

I did not get a whole lot of picture from the fair, but we had a good time walking around and people watching. Zane did really well walking around and behaving himself, he even danced and entertained an elderly couple listening to the band by the water! We bought these sunglasses and it was the best $3.00 we spent!! He keeps them all the time, the up side down was his attempt of putting them on!!

This is kuddos to aunt Sara, when we tell Zane good job, he gives you knuckles! He thinks he is just one cool little dude doing this.

Tyson was a trooper for the whole time! He just hung out and let Zane pick on him, sleep and eat! But Zane did help feed and held his bottle for him one time!!

This was them in the petting zoo! Zane loved the animals, he petted some and was not afraid of them.

Scott also picked up an steer for work one day, I took the boys with and Zane thought the steer was neat and even petted him. It had been a long day and I did not have the camera ready for it, but it was fun to watch Zane look at all the bulls in the barn at Origen when we dropped "patches" off!! :)

Phone time with Grannie

These pictures were a conversation between Grannie and Zane, he told her his life plans! He had to hold the phone and sit in the chair and chat. It started in his high chair and then moved to the living room. He will even hold the phone to Tyson so he can chat as well! It is a fun little thing between Grannie and him.

In code...taking over the house!

I am pretty sure that this is code for taking over something, mom, house world who knows!! But they had a good time talking to each other. The second clip with just Tyson, Zane was watching the back of the camera and helping me hold it, that is why it is moving so much.

Pool time!

This little pool works great for Zane it is small enough he can get in and out by him self, but holds enough water to keep him entertained! He had to make sure Tyson was being played with!!

Playdo!!

Im not real sure who likes to play with the playdo more, dad or zane!! :) But he will sit at his little spider man table in his chair and have a hay day. Scott will sit across from him and help and play himself!! He is pretty good at keep the colors together, but some have been mixed a little bit! This little kit that we got him you can build monsters with lips eys hats feet and arms and he copies dad.
