The Zoo, The Pool and The Ting-Tings!


It has been a very busy summer and an exciting week in particular. Devlyn, Megan and I made our first trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. Devlyn really liked the aquariums and the aquatic life. He also liked feeding the giraffe. I was excited to see Devlyn recognize things like ducks, fish and "Meow-Meows".

As the days grow hotter and Hotter, Megan searches for creative and fun ways to entertain and stay cool. One of Devlyn's favorite past-times is being in the water. He has no fear of it and doesn't seem to be afraid to put his head under water. The toddler pool at Bryan Park is fun but on a hot afternoon when getting too far from home isn't an option, Megan is really good about filling up the wading pool.
Our summer music listening has continued to revolve around mod revival, early Springsteen, some smatterings of new wave and the sound track to Yo Gabba Gabba! One of the bands that appear on the show, and that Devlyn particularly likes are "The Ting-Tings".
It has been such an exciting and busy summer. I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
