18 month picture with the elephant

It's been awhile since I've taken/posted an elephant picture. This is the first time I know of that he smiled on command for a picture and he did great! It's an especially great smile in the second picture. Any votes for the favorite?

We've had a busy month! We spent several days in KY earlier this month and had a great time with my (Susan's) family and also we got a chance to see Nathan's parents. We celebrated my birthday and got to go to Kings Island. Gabe's favorite ride was "Azul", the train from Dora. Here he is with his Grandma and Grandpa.Last week we went to the zoo and had a nice time. Here are a few pictures from that. On Saturday we went to Hawaiian Falls and had a great time also. It took Gabe awhile to get into it, but then he didn't want to leave. I wish we had pictures of that, but we didn't bring our camera.

This morning we went to the Arboretum. I got some great pictures there! They have a display of storybook houses. We enjoyed seeing those and had a picnic lunch while we were there.
