The cracker jacks must have knocked Hadlee out.
It was a little chilly at this game. It had rained before but didn't during the game. Our seats were under an awning but the stadium was so empty we could have sat anywhere. The game went to 11 innings (Cleveland won) and by the time it was over I was the only one freezing. It probably wasn't that cold, just windy, but I'm always freezing. I also had a cold and cough and was constantly blowing my nose so the end of the game was welcomed. On Friday we went to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. It was a great day for the zoo! About 68* and partly cloudy. All the animals were up and about moving around except for the lazy lions and a gorilla. At this zoo you weren't very far from the animals and there wasn't much between you and them. It wasn't all spread out with too much walking and the zookeepers were very informative. I really liked this zoo.
The lorikeets were free to land on you and you could buy nectar to feed them. Maddox even had them land on her although she didn't want to. They did it anyway and surprised her but she didn't freak out. She just laughed. So then I got her to hold the nectar cup and feed them.
Is your hearing really better with big kangaroo ears?
Jeremy prooves that it's not.
Maddox is almost 36 inches tall now! We only checked because you had to be 36 inches to go down a snake slide at the zoo and when I told Jeremy how close she was he didn't believe me. That means she's grown about an inch in the past 5 weeks!
Hadlee got to go swimming for the first time! She seemed to like it, as much as a 3 1/2 month old can.
That's a map Maddox is holding. She wanted to navigate as we walked around the city. It took a LONG time to get anywhere with her reading the map and walking. But she's learning early watching Mommy with a map all the time.
That's Cleveland Browns stadium behind them. We're down by the waterfront.
Maddox wanted to go to the beach, just like she always does since we visit NC beach and Grammy and Papa's beach. Just 2 miles east of downtown there's this park with rocks to climb on and a beach. Not quite the same as a coastal beach, a little dirtier, but hey, it's sand. Maddox liked it.
Impossible to get all 4 of us to look at the camera at the same time.
Sunday we went to the Browns/Chiefs game. We had tickets in the Family Zone so there were some kid friendly activities to do.
Again, it was a great day for football! It was near 70* and partly cloudy. Not hot and not cold. That stadium is right on the water, really, right on the water. I can't even imagine going to a game in December with snow and wind whipping off that lake! Brrr!
Hadlee didn't sleep for most of the day. She was awake from 8:30 until about 3:30 when she finally was tired enough to ignore all the noise and nap. By the way, she's wearing a size 12 month jersey which is not huge on her. The fall clothes she wore while up there are 6-9 month and, again, she's only 3 1/2 months old. She's a chunk.
