“Mommy! Try my shirt on!” #bathtime ift.tt/1JJ736l http://t.co/CgRlXJhmd0

My son, discovering a sunbeam on the floor: “Mommy, look! Sunshine footprints! Let’s follow them and see what made ’em.” #stuffkidssay
By appropriating code from Ye Olde Days of Flickr Slideshows — code which will undoubtedly be deprecated in the future — I bring you a slideshow of my favorite photos from my Mom’s visit a couple weeks back.
On Friday morning, we visited the zoo; on Saturday morning, the Butterfly House; and on Saturday afternoon, the Toledo Botanical Gardens. I didn’t bring my Nikon — I only had my Olympus XA and my iPhone 6. I also brought Connor’s Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Camera to the Zoo with us. (Mom had her Canon, of course, except during our impromptu trip to the Botanical Garden.)
We had a great time, and you can bet that some of these photos will make an appearance as photo posts of their own later on. A couple of the snaps of Connor really made me smile.

Me: Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father!
Him: I don’t believe that!
