So Much has Happened in a Week!

We have had a busy week here in the Haines' House. Tuesday the family drove to Toledo to see Granny Haines and the old clan from up north. It was a wonderful visit and Granny and Cori got to spend some nice time together. Cori loves to visit her Granny and see Max (the cat) too!

On Wednesday we hooked up with the Jensen's and all went to the Toledo Zoo. Cori's favorite word was "WOW" as she looked at all the animals. She really enjoyed the year old polar bear cubs playing around in the water. They were so frisky! She also got to pet the pigmy goats in the petting zoo. She just kept saying "Hi Baby!" over and over again. But by far, her best time was when she discovered the puddles of water just outside the petting zoo. She stomped her little tennis shoes in the puddles and splashed and patted the puddle with her hand. It was adorable and Granny got it all on tape. All in all it was a good day to visit family and the zoo.

Next, we went to the United Theological Seminary Pool with Aunt Kerry and Molly and Erin on Friday. I know what you are thinking... the what pool???? Yes, the Seminary pool. It is open to the public, it is huge and it wasn't too crowded, like some of our local pools can be. Cori enjoyed the pool but because she can sit in her wading pool at home and not be held, she thinks she can do the same in a large pool. Try explaining to a 1 year old that if you let them go in 3 feet of water they will drown. So there was a little battle of the wills going on there. I refuse to be out-stubborned by a 1 year old. I can see that fun days are ahead!

Saturday, Cori and i went shopping and visited Grandma at her work and then went to see Grandpa at home. We played with the toys and Cori even attempted to help pick up the toys when we were done playing. Now she is in her tent reading books to herself. I can't wait for her to actually start saying words so i can finally see what it is she has been talking about all this time.

Tuesday, the Kadel clan is headed to Columbus to visit the zoo there. What a group!! I have some pictures to post but i will have to get to them a little later. Someone wants me to come read with her.
