At the Zoo with my cousins
We all went to the zoo - we got to ride the choo choo, walk hand in hand (Eli initiated that) and ride the carasol. Baby Abey was too little so he and Michael sat on the peacock. 
'Go Go Baby Abey'
I'm still bigger than you little guy, so do what I say...Amara and team visit the Red Butte Gardens for a picnic.

Big and Strong
Well, Amara had her two-year check up today. She weighed in at about 22-23 pounds (I'm not sure how exact a measurement it was since she wouldn't get on the scale and we had to back it out of the combined weight of her and Justin!) and 34.25 inches tall. That's about 3% and 50% on the charts respectively, holding relatively steady to past performance. She was a trooper with her shots although didn't like them very much. Overall, doing great.
Her new 'move of the month' happened last week, where she put a spoon in each hand, scooped up two spoonfuls of oatmeal and fed one to her and one to Justin at the same time. I thought that was very talented! It's been superhot here so she's been in her geekhas (dresses) all the time, with fans and swamp coolers 24-7. More pictures of the weekend to come in the next day or so when I have the chance to upload some from her Aunt's camera.

Hiking Practice
Amara tried to drink out of the camelbak (unsuccessfully, but a valiant effort). She also knows that when we go hiking we carry a bag, so she picked up the bag and said 'hiking!'
Hiking Among the Tufas of Mono Lake
Tufas are formed like underwater drip drop castles, as spring water seeps up into the salty lake. Once the tufa hits the surface of the water, it stops growing. 
Getting ready for my Hike among the Big Trees of Calavaras State Park
Edit, edit, I know...but they were all so cute!
