Family Day!

In anticipation of the family being separated for 3 weeks in a few days, we decided to make today FAMILY DAY! This morning we went to the...
After walking all over, and thoroughly enjoying the inside exhibits...
it was snack time...
then we saw Paul's favorite display, the giraffes...
then we saw mine, the flamingos...
We had such a fun time. Ilana did a fair amount of pushing the stroller (yes, this was uphill)...

The hat was water-soaked in an effort to keep her cool. It worked really well. We can't believe she's actually steering her stroller! By the time we got home for lunch we had one tired baby on our hands. So, you might ask "What did Paul and Heather do while Ilana took a nap?" CLIMBED OF COURSE!! Ilana slept really well in the Student Life Center's conference room for 2 hours, and we climbed! (We checked on her about every 20 minutes, don't worry.) It was loads of fun.
Yep that's me at the top and Paul's belaying. We each climbed 3 routes and then bouldered a bit.
We just ended our day by watching the Tour de France highlights on TV. (Go Lance!) It was a really fun day.

She is so cute in her little hat! She looks like she'll be a good cart pusher in the grocery store some day... maybe with some side mirrors or something so she can see around to where she is headed :) ~ Laura
