New Blog coming!
So please join us at:
degraaffamilyblog.blogspot.com
Although I'm sad that I can't just change the address of my old blog to include all those cute pics of Garrett, I'm really excited to have something that will grow with our family.

Kids say the darndest things!
Binder Park Zoo!
The next exhibit was the monkeys, or "buttees" as Garrett calls them. Although I was glad that they weren't throwing poop at us or something equally disgusting, I do wish they were doing something! Most just sat there in the trees, content with being watched. On our way out of Africa, we stopped at the souvenir shop. Carolyn got a plush giraffe, and I got Garrett the monkey. We saw lots of other moms having their kids pictures taken with this giraffe, so we thought it would be cute, too. Unfortunately, we couldn't get both kids smiling and looking at the same camera at the same time! Close enough.
We stopped and got a cookie, too. It was warm and gooey and Garrett dived right in.
Here are some more animals that I have never seen before:
Another type of monkey
All in all, I'm glad that we finally got to go to the zoo. I made me feel good knowing that I could show Garrett some real animals that at this point we had only seen in pictures.

Vacuuming with Mommy
Sunday night, I decided to vacuum, or "ba-boom" as Garrett calls it. He was fascinated by what I was doing, so I asked if he would help me. The next thing I know, I look over and he's got Dusty the Talking Vacuum, and he's going over everything I've already vacuumed. For the next 5 minutes this was all we did. He's such a great little helper!

Garrett LOVES water...
Garrett loves taking baths and loves swimming. Splashing is the most fun, and the wetter everything gets, the better! Here, I came home from work one night and Doug was giving Garrett a bath in the utility tub in the laundry room. Since he's outgrown his toddler tub, and we haven't installed the new bathtub yet, this worked perfectly!
On Friday, June 20th, It was pretty hot outside so we turned on the sprinkler and let Garrett run loose! He kept trying to drink from the streams of water coming out. What a ham!
