Zoo/Poo

We took our annual trip to the zoo this week with Brooke and her kids. As always, we had a fantastic time.

monkeying around in the monkey house


Malcom observing, rather than participating (as to be expected)


the white alligator-- as you can see JJ is quite leery


hands down my favorite part of the zoo: watching Brooke and all 80 pounds of her push her brood up the hill past the giraffes


last but definitely not least, the long anticipated train ride


Now for the poo part. On the way home from the zoo, Asher began complaining of a stomachache. When we got home he was laying on the ground and I was trying to convince him to eat some tums when suddenly he puked straight into the air and back down all over himself. I immediately stood him up and shoved him toward the tile as he continued to spew. The camera happened to be right there so Kevin snapped a shot. Not too long after his shower, the pooing started. Needless to say, I spent the rest of my night cleaning up diarrhea and throwup rather than sleeping. I still don't know what the deal was because he hadn't eaten anything the rest of us hadn't, and he was good as new the next day.

Poor Asher - that picture is so sad. I hate when they get stomach bugs. Cleaning up after that is the worst. Luckily they never last never long. I am glad he is better - for his sake and for yours!

those kind of days /nights (esp. nights) are some of my worst memories. all the washing, the scrubbing carpet, trying to get them to drink.......luckily they don't happen very often.

That has got to be the BEST THROW up picture EVER! I was laughing sooo hard! I am so sorry that he got sick, but am glad that he is feeling better.

THAT is the most pitiful thing I have ever seen.

I'm so sorry about the stomach bug and am pleased to let you know of the unselfishness of Asher. Apparently he shared it with JJ and Alex. I was like, "Where did you guys get sick from?" We've just had the poo part thankfully. I can't believe you got everyone to look at you on the train. Can I get the pictures of me pushing my kids up the hill? P.S. my hair look fantastic in that picture!

Okay, that picture of Brooke cracks me up!!! And I'm so sad you guys get to go to the zoo so often together while I'm here left out on the fun.
And thank you Kev for the lovely picture. Funny, but I think I almost threw up when I saw it. =) J/K
Glad to hear he is doing better.

There's nothing better than eating the same meal twice. Yummy.

I've got sympathy for Asher, that picture is priceless thought, It made me laughed so hard, poor guy. I'm glad it didn't last long and he was able to enjoy a fun day at the Zoo.
