Happy Father's Day 2012

For Father's Day this year we went to Sioux Falls to join the Kruse family for a picnic at Sherman Park.  It was a great day for a picnic and it was great to get together with the Kruse family again.  We got to celebrate Father's Day with Great Grandpa Kruse, he is a Dad, Grandpa and Great Grandpa to so many!  We started the day with the guys playing some catch while we waited to eat.  Then we ate a great potluck meal and hung out for a while.  Later in the afternoon we went to the zoo, that is part of the park that we are at.  Nolan slept all afternoon so he stayed back in the AC with Grandpa and Grandma taking turns with him, it would have been pretty hot for him at the zoo.  Landon loved the animals at the zoo and watched them very closely if they were moving.  He would reach his hand out for them like he wanted to watch longer or touch them!!  After the zoo we headed back home, Nolan was still sleeping and Landon was fast asleep before we were two blocks away from the parking lot.

Landon liked Uncle Jon pushing him around the zoo! 

Landon at one point put his hand in the hole and the goat licked it, he didn't complain about it. 

This was Landon's face when he would first see the animal, then he would warm up to them.
