Ralph's World at Brookfield Zoo 2010

We had a great time today at the zoo! Ralph played some favorites and we got to dance in the rain a little bit! Here are some highlights...

GianLuca was, as always, in total awe of his idol!

 

Standing in the rain with Papa!

Ralph, inviting all the kiddos up on stage! This moment is the highlight for GianLuca of every single concert!

 

GianLuca and Ralph (I believe there was some tickling going on in thi s picture!)

 

This picture is for Joshie! 

We cannot wait to take you to the new bear exhibit at brookfield! If you can imagine, this was taken through glass and half of the glass is the underwater view and the other half is the top view. This bear was sitting on a rock under the water playing with a branch from a tree. He was only about 8 feet in front of us! 

It was totally WACKY!

Violin Lessons!!!

 Just this past week GianLuca had his first violin lesson! Anthony and I are so excited, his teacher (Mrs. Gail Salvatori - Who says "hi" to Ali) is SO amazingly wonderful with kiddos an really made his first lesson a fun experience for GL. These are a few snapshots of him practicing at home, I'm not sure what his teacher would say about eating grapes while practicing, but it sure made for a cute picture!

Visiting Baby Liam

We got the pleasure of visiting Mary and Mike's new baby, Liam a week or so ago and I snapped a few great shots that I just had to share!
