Zoo Day!!

This morning we went to the Yokohama Zoo!
It was such a gorgeous Spring day and the boys were so excited to see some animals!
First stop was the elephants and we were lucky enough to see one swimming around and taking a bath!
Comparing how big his hand is against a gorilla hand!
Nathan was more about the high-fives!
We got to see a tiger pretty close up too!
I love how the cherry blossom petals look like snow on the ground :)
Nathan has spotted something!
Watching the otters swim around!
And a seal!
Ryan was so excited to be eating his lunch at the zoo!
He thought the monkey statue had a funny nose! ... it did!
A really pretty flower!
Are these the ones bringing our baby?? :)
Giddy-up!
Kiddo loves waterfalls!
Being silly!
Silly boy :)
He is also obsessed with maps so whenever he saw one we had to stop and check it out!
An Okapi!
Ry actually asked for this picture - silly boy!
Ry and the chimps! Funny story - Nathan had actually wanted to stand up on the ledge next to Ryan and see the 'ma-kees' as he calls him. So I put him up on the ledge and within 2 seconds at least 3 or 4 of the chimps are pushing each other to get an up-close look at Nathan, poking at the glass and making noise! It of course scared Nathan to death, but I guess chimps really like copper haired kiddos!
Still unsure about this one... it's fake - just don't understand the point!
Couldn't leave without getting some ice cream!!
Nathan opted for some snacks instead :)

I think I wore them out!! We will definitely be going back soon!

Bubbles!

I bought the boys a battery operated bubble blower the other day...
Best $15 I've ever spent!!!
They had so much fun running around like crazy little boys, popping all the bubbles!
Nathan was quite intrigued :)
So many bubbles!
Kiddo loves to slide!

Sweet boys :)

Well...

It looks like this will be a Nathan post since he is the most willing to have his picture taken!
Yeah... totally caught him doing this! Looks like he'll be my child that ends up in the ER with a lima bean stuck up his nose :)
Littlest man totally has curls! It flattens out (for the most part) once it's dry... but oh it's so cute!
Sweet boy - ready to head out on a walk!
Being cool at the barber shop!
Gotta flip them up so I can read my magazine... of course!
A shot of Nathan I got at the park the other day - I love this bridge!

Another one from our Spring'y photo shoot :)

It's That Time Again!

The Cherry Blossom Trees have bloomed!
They are as gorgeous as ever!
It's amazing to think that Ry was only 9 months old when he saw the japanese cherry blossoms for the first time - he still has the same look of wonder :)
So pretty!
Nathan wasn't too keen on having his picture taken today, so we'll give it another shot in a couple days :)
He did like investigating the blossoms though :)
I'm going to completely miss springtime in Japan

Burning off a little energy :)

Bitty Baby Video!

This was taken at my 9 week doctor's appointment. I felt bad that Guy was missing all the appointments so I thought I would bring home a little video so he could see little one's tiny heartbeat :)
