Here are B, X, Gabe, and Mallory engrossed in cartoons that morning.
X drinking his milk, and hanging out with Malmal.
Ugh - soooooooo cute - he reached out to touch her. Total sweetness. :-)
He kept his hand like this for a few minutes and she had fun trying to eat it. That's just what 6 month old babies do.
We loaded the car back up and headed out for another drive, this time 3 hours to Milwaukee. Nick took this picture as we drove through Chicago (I'm the driver when we go places. Otherwise I get sick.). Chicago is nightmarish with respect to traffic, construction, and just outright confusion, if you haven't had the priveledge of driving there lately.
Family shot at the zoo - thanks for offering to take this, Darin!
Nick, Bennett, and Olivia, watching the hippos...
...and now the elephants.
Poor X was so exhausted from all the travel, along with the usual effects his seizures have on him. He fell asleep and missed out on a pony ride :-(
Hannah, Livvy, and Bennett waited patiently for their turn to ride the ponies.
Love this - look how excited he was :-)
B grabbed Hannah's hand as we waited in line to ride the train. They had both waited soooo LONG for the ride.
On the train ---
Nick and Ben stopped to watch the train take off again. It was a real steam engine, which was really cool to see.
It was a great zoo trip, and we were so happy to see the Bergs after two years! Thanks for meeting us there!
Then back to the beach house - battled 3 hours of construction and traffic, to make it home just in time to watch fireworks on the beach.
Here are a couple pictures I took during the fireworks. Just because.
More Mallory-Xavier bonding time. They love each other :-)
Look how GIANT Xavier is. Whoa.
Another great day. Tiring, due to the travel (after the previous day of travel), but great.:-)

Xaver must love babies as much as Carson. Carson likes to imitate the noises they make.
They look so cute together just chillin'
Those firework pictures were very interesting I must say! It made me laugh a little! WHY?? CAUSE IT DID!
