First off, some randoms.

We took Lydia to the zoo this week (and actually went in).

Lydia really enjoyed the zoo. She loved pointing at and talking to every animal she saw.

Here she is with the giraffes.

Notice those pink shades in the above photo.

And here they are.

Here is Lydia hanging out at the zoo after lunch.

The zoo visit went well and we are looking forward to exploring the rest of the zoo the next few times we visit.

In unrelated news, here is Lydia with her little bike and helmet. She is very funny with her helmet. If Lydia's bike is outside the garage, she brings us her helmet, insists that we put it on her, and she keeps it on until her bike has been put back in the garage. Lydia wearing her helmet has no relation whatsoever to her actually using her bike.

We were all quite sick recently. Here is Lydia taking some medicine and then explaining to us where it goes.

Have a great week!
