Olympic Park

Monday we went to Olympic Park.  I had the hardest time keeping Dresden at the playground.  He was more interested in the numbers etched on the sidewalks, than playing.  Who knew?
I also found out quickly that it is hard to take pictures of this kid when Josh isn't around.  I wasn't able to get pictures of him playing in the splash pad/fountain (partly because I had to be in it as well for him to stay), but I did get pictures of the "after".

Lately Dresden has been trying to use his dump truck as a skateboard.  I tried taking a picture of it, but as soon as the camera comes out he gets off.  Sorry I still have your pajamas Kattie. :)

I had to coax him through the tunnel

He was content with standing at the bottom of the slide while all the other boys had to dodge him coming down.

Dresden has a small obsession with stairs.

One of the few boys in our group who dared to get soaked.  With some coaxing of course... and swinging him in the path of the water...

He was being goofy for some reason whenever he stuck a handful of blueberries into his mouth.

Faces of Dresden: Part ?

Figured I would put these pictures in a different post.  Yeah!  This never gets old, though Josh and I probably look like we are super corny... wait, WE ARE!

Wait a second... wrong child...

There we go.  Much better.

Well, It Is About Dang Time!

So I feel bad and figured I would stay up tonight and update my blog.  I mean, what ELSE am I going to do?  Since coming here to Atlanta I have read through the books I had brought and then I read through the books that I bought.  My grand total is at 10 books, the 10th of which I finished just this afternoon.  So until I get a car, I am book-less.

Anyway, enough of my whining, onto what you all REALLY came to see.  Pictures of Dresden!  Josh and I recently had the chance to spend a day together (YES A WHOLE DAY) and so we went to this safari thing where you can feed animals.  We got our money's worth of course when we were able to extend our lovable series, Faces of Dresden.

For those of you going to the Safari thing in Atlanta in the future (aka Kattie), don't look at the pictures if you think it might ruin your experience. I don't want to be the party pooper! :)

Dresden's new thing lately is finding stuff to sit on.  His new sitting spot is the bookshelf (after he has relieved it of its books that is).

Oh yeah, and inside his toy box too.

 When we got to the Wildlife Safari place, the first thing we did was go around to the animals in the cages to feed them by hand.  Here is a Llama (or Alpaca) with some wicked teeth.  I was afraid this one was going to spit.

Next was the bear, who looked so depressed.

Goats (yawn)

Big-horned sheep (yawn)

 And a baby Giraffe.

 Then, we rented a van and went to the drive-thru animal feeding thing (I am a wiz at word-usage today!).

Other than a few instances, Dresden spent most of his time exploring the inside of the van, and playing with the visors, and the steering wheel...

This Bison was probably the most disgusting.  Watch OUT!  This:

Turns to this:

Zebras...aw!

Moose (or is it Meese?? ha ha)

And this Emu, who I affectionately call Satan's Minion!

Mean birds.  Scary birds.  I am serious.
