Football Time!

We have been very excited about football in the Meyer home this year. The Bulldogs are currently 4-0 heading into week number five! Go dogs! Cole has attended every game with Mommy and Daddy and is very much into watching the game until about the 4th quarter when the urge to sleep starts to set in. Heidi and Andy enjoy some extra time with G-ma while G-pa joins us at the game. This past weekend started flag football season and here stand the future of EHS football! Cousin Josh plays on the 3rd-4th grade team while Cole is on the 1st-2nd grade team.

This is what the game situation looks like....coaches trying to position their players after every play. Cole actually had two games this past Sunday so it was rough for them to stay focused for that long. Cole did an exceptionally great job! He would be the first to tell you about his touchdown run from one end of the field to the other. He was terribly pumped! Mommy and G-ma even witnessed it, which is pretty amazing considering they were trying to take in two games at one time!

Good game! It is all about sportsmanship at this level....that is one thing I like about Cole's athletics at this age. There is no score and it is all about having fun. Let's hope he is still having this much fun in 10 years!

Being Three!

Being three is tough, my feet just won't grow fast enough to fill Daddy's shoes.

Heidi finally grew enough to fit into this "princess" nighty gown. Aw.....life is good when this princess is happy!

Toledo Zoo Visit

We finally made it to the Toledo Zoo in early September. We would hate to use our membership too early in the year! We took G-ma and Papa with us to celebrate Grandparents Day at the zoo. We got there real early to beat all the crazy people. It was even cool that day as you can see we are wearing jackets and jeans. It was a really beautiful sunny day though! Being there early also makes viewing the animals better. The have just been fed and are much more playful to watch.

We took a ton of pictures that day. Of course, every stone statue that was spotted by the trio was a photo opportunity!

My little princess...

Cole had a silly way of posing for every picture!

Zoo Misc.

We got to see the new elephant exhibit. It is so nice and spacious for the elephants and the people are so much closer. Elephants are just amazing animals to watch. The kids had never seen them quite this close before....beautiful gentle giants!

I love this picture! They are really growing and changing! Last year, at the same time we had to haul the wagon to the zoo with us for them to ride in. Now they are old enough that they walked the whole zoo, except for a couple of piggy back rides.

Andy is a professional tortoise rider, too bad he face planted when he tried to dismount!

Who is lookin' at who?

More Zoo Pictures

Not even afraid of a white polar bear. Speaking of the polar bears, the new baby is adorable! It was very active when we got to the zoo that day. It was playing and having a great time entertaining us!

Daddy and Papa take a spin on the merry-go-round with the kids. This is the second time this summer that the kids got to take a ride. Cole insists on riding on the bench everytime. I think he is strange! I lived on the merry-go-round at Cedar Point when I was younger. Now just watching them gets my stomach doing flips!

Yep, these three can wrestle any stone animal down!

Thank you Toledo Zoo for providing so many picture opts. These are some of the best pictures that I have taken of all three of them all summer!
