The Zoo at Last

It had been over 7 months since we had been to the zoo so we finally went again yesterday. We had told Nyah on Friday we would go to the zoo on Saturday so the first thing she said that morning was "zoo, go see animals". She loved it. We saw elephants, bears, monkeys, and she still liked the peacock just like the last time we went to the zoo. This time though the peacock opened up all its feathers. The elephant was also getting a drink out of a fire hose which was funny to see. We bought an annual pass to the zoo so we can go anytime. (Thanks Papa and Kaki) I've already decided there are distinct advantages because yesterday we could just leave without seeing everything since we can go back whenever we want to. :)




Plus here is a picture of her really enjoying a chocolate chip cookie from Paradise Bakery that she did not want to share with me. If any of you have tried them, you know why she didn't want to. :) I don't know where she got her love for chocolate chip cookies? It must not be me - let's blame Grandpa. :)


We were thinking about going camping this weekend but decided not to with the "sketchy" weather forecast. Camping in a tent in the rain just doesn't sound like that much fun to me. As we've watched the weather this weekend, we are glad we didn't go. We'll have to try that out another weekend.

Here are a couple of pictures of Nyah in a new dress today. Since I was sending her to nursery in a white dress, I figured I should get some pictures this morning in case the dress was never the same again. However, I'm happy to report it's still in great shape (good job to her nursery leaders) and the pictures weren't necessary before going to chuch today.




And last of all, this shows you what an adventure tub time is these days. She loves to color with her tub markers.

That is an AWESOME update! I love the zoo as well! How fun that you bought a season pass. I've thought about doing that here, but since I don't have any kids they might think I'm a little weird...plus, I bet your zoo is way better. Mmm...Mmm...I love Chocolate Chip Cookies too! Her new white dress is adorable and of course she looks adorable in it. I love to color with markers, perhaps I should purchase some tub markers! Fun post! Love you! Less than a month til I get to see you all!

Nyah's tub marker art is hilarious! But thanks for the picture because I am now about 95%sure that I will never buy them for Hallie. Ha ha. Did that clean up easily?

You're a nice mom to let her make such a mess in the tub! Looks like TONS of fun though. I think I'll buy some! :)

What a great update on your adorable little girl! We are going to take Owen to the zoo for the first time on his birthday. I am excited!

GREAT PICTURES and UPDATE! You REALLY will be glad for the annual pass to the zoo, as it will bring you SO MANY memorable outings! I also ENJOY the EXCITEMENT of bath time with grandchildren & like to have things they want to play with to prolong the FUN!
