Stop and smell...

With Anni's maternity leave drawing toward an end, I bailed from work one day last week and we planned to take the brood for some outdoor activities. The weather was cold and crummy and we were kind of pinched for time, so we headed over to Como Zoo and Conservatory for a while before doing pizza for lunch.

This was how Colin spent most of the morning...

 

...except when Anni had him trying to smell the roses.

I'm not sure what this was about.

 

Makin' a break for it.

Anni would have been in this picture too, but she didn't like my idea of asking someone else to take the picture -- mostly because the only other person around was a mom with two kids younger than ours. Burden shmurden, next time I'm asking.
