Summer Vaction Part 2! Grandma Harris'

Our Summer Fun would not have been complete without a trip to the ZOO!!! We decided that it would be fun to take Archer and one of his best pals Roarbert to the zoo in Idaho Falls. So Archer could see a real live Roarbert. Archer was all set in his little Gilligan hat and all greased up with sunscreen.

It made me a little nervous when Joel thought he would show Archer the ducks swimming in the pond below us by holding him over the edge, and of course Archer loved it! I knew that Joel would had a good grip on our little monkey. But HEY, I'm a Mom, worry is what I do when my child is hanging over the edge of a bridge looking at ducks. :)

We made our way to the petting zoo part, where there were a ton of GOATS!!! Who wants to pet a GOAT, Seriously!!! Whatever?!! Archer wasn't too sure about them nibbling at his feet and hands.

Archer did think the Chickens were pretty funny, but I don't think they liked him, they were getting pretty"peckish."

We had to grab a Fun picture with Grandma Harris and Aunt Jessica. It was so much fun having Jessica there too. It was even her birthday while we were there and we surprised her with a gift card to Barnes and Nobles, which she used right away.

We finally made it to the Lions, who were sleeping, but if you look close you can see Roarbert's cousin snoozing under the tree.

Archer totally loved the monkeys!!! There was one that kept swinging and jumping back and forth. And Archer's little head would turn to see where he had gone. I even managed to catch a picture of the monkey doing a power slide across the bar.

Later that day, Joel and his Dad went fishing, leaving us girls to have all the fun without them. Lucky for Archer Grandma Harris has a swimming pool too, So we sat out and got some sun while Archer Splish Splashed in the water.

So we all felt like we the best babysitters in the world, when Archer decided to eat his foot, but quickly found out that there was water in the way. The poor guy stuck his entire face under water. Good thing he is so well mannered, he just sat up, blew some raspberries and went on playing. 

He especially liked it when we would pour water over his hands and arms, his little budda belly would jiggle, with a giggle.

After family pictures in Utah we stopped to see Great Grandma and Grandpa Harris. Archer had fun showing off his new trick of sitting up for them, while we chatted and heard some funny stories about Joel as a kid.

This is one of my most favorite pictures of the trip. Three very handsome guys who I love very much!!

Like usual our summer vacations go by way to fast and before we know it I am staring at a mound of laundry that needs to be put away. We had so much Fun spending time with our Families and I hope that next Summer we can spend even more time together.
