The Zoo & Weston: the Olympic hopeful

We had so much fun at the zoo a few weeks ago. Weston's favorite are the monkeys! go figure :)









Here is what we saw at Hogle Zoo:
A kangaroo & her joey:









A swan & her cygnet:










A mama & her Weston:




It's amazing how much you can learn from your children's books. Weston loves to read and Doug said, "Look, Weston! A kangaroo & his joey!" (there were two kangaroos - one just hopped away before I could get the picture) & I said, "Look, Weston! A swan and her cygnet!" (that's what a baby swan is called) We thought it was hilarious because one of Weston's books has all the animals and their baby names. We're so smart.

We've gone to the park a lot this summer. Here a couple of Weston on the swings. That little girl would not leave us alone so we finally left. I'm in charge of a play group in my ward now so if any of you have ideas for cold Utah this winter, let me know!














And here we have Weston practicing for his future gymnastic career on the still rings. Just kidding, however, we have discovered that Weston is the next Michael Phelps as long as he can become 6 ft 4 at least. It's a long shot you may think. But not as long as it appears. Weston was not blessed with his dad's long legs, but with his mother's long torso and short legs. Since the Olympics, we have found out that swimming is the sport this body type comes in handy. I would have never guessed seeing as how I've always been a poor swimmer. That's not all folks! Also, like Michael Phelps, Weston is double jointed in his knees! We have high hopes for Weston to make us our millions.
