Zoo Day

This past weekend babygirl and I went to the Zoo with my in-laws. 

After fighting with her to wake up early on a Saturday, we made it close to on time. 

All the kids started out happy and excited for the day.

The morning continued to get warmer.

But babygirl was thrilled to see the animals.

I helped point them out in their cages and she would get so excited once she spotted them.

A white stork.

I told babygirl this is where babies come from!

Of course she's too young to understand what I meant.

She just laughed and yelled "BIRD!"

Babygirl had such a good time with her cousins.

She's usually pretty picky about people that mess with her.

It takes a long time for her to warm up to people.

We could hang out with the same people day after day and it still takes a good hour or so for her to be okay enough for them to mess with her.

The hours kept passing quickly and I kept having to give her different snacks 

to hold her over.

We were starving!

 A too hot toddler and hot hungry pregnant lady is a dangerous combination!

There were 3 giraffes total.

Two of them were pretty keen on each other.

I'm pretty sure some frisky business was about to go down.

Not gonna lie.. 

That probably would've been a sight!

These 2 photos are amazing. 

Lily typically isn't very keen on men.

She's basically not a huge fan of loud guys.

This includes both of her grandpas.

This day, however, her Grandpa asked if she wanted to go on the boat ride.

I hesitated because I didn't want the ride to be miserable for everyone else 

since I didn't want to go. 

He seemed willing and so I handed her over and waved bye.

She went without a fuss.

I was so shocked.

She smiled and waved for pictures.

Which I couldn't get any good ones because there is no where good to stand.

He said she did great on the whole ride.

I know this one is a terribly bad shot,

but look at those smiles! 

I was a proud mama.
