Zoo!!

It was GORGEOUS today so we decided to take advantage of our zoo membership and we braved the crowds.  We allowed Reese to bring a friend and she was super excited about it!  It made David and I feel really old that Reese is now old enough to bring friends.

She still loves these nasty smelling birds.  She even wanted to see them on the way out too!
2 little divas!
The birds were all in their house so we weren't able to feed them.  But, this one little guy was out enjoy the warm sun!


The girls wanted their picture taken with the giraffe
Ella was telling Reese all about how the skull of a lion works.
Reese NEVER wants to do these things.  But, since Ella did she was game!
Roaring like a lion!
Posing at the ant hills
Ella is always ready for a picture!  I loved it because she normally asked me to take her picture!
Love her!!!!
We walked by the snack cart and the girls of course wanted ice cream
Poor Ella fell a few times!  I felt so bad!
Hanging out in the big nest!
My little girl with personality wears it all across her face.  Big grin and I even asked her for a "soft smile" while all the other parents laughed at me.  Oh well!
The divas again!
This guy was so close!
This one reminded me of Jabba.  He was huge!  When he got up his hair was all matted and nasty.  Yuck!
The girls picked out a panda necklace.  They loved them!
Ella is so fun to photograph.  I say "Ella, can I take your picture?"  She gives me this in a split second!


So sweet!
Such a big girl!
Reese loves her daddy!
David was so bummed that Reese is now tall enough to ride the train alone.  As much grief as I'm sure you can all imagine that I give David, he is such an amazing daddy.  I think that is the biggest accomplishment any father can have!  OK, done being sappy!
Ready for the train ride!
They wanted icees at the end of the day!  More sugar!


Don't touch my icee!
