Beautiful Day at the Zoo

If an effort to get out of the house and to do something different, my friend Chandler and I decided to take our sweet little girls to the zoo today. :) We had no clue how the day would turn out having two little ones under the age of one but we went for it anyways. And let me say that I am soooo glad we did!! The girls were amazing!!!! We did not hear one cry out of either one of them the entire time we were there, which was 4 1/2 hours. Ha. :) We were shocked to say the least. The only noise that came out of these cute little girls were lots of laughs and giggles. :) They had such a blast together and it was so nice to get to walk around the zoo and talk with such an old friend! :) We have been friends since we were in about 4th grade, continued the friendship through high school, lived together in college, joined the same sorority, got married about 6 months apart, had our 2 little girls 3 months apart, and we are godparents to each others child. :) That is what I call a life long friend :) I hope that our 2 little girls will be blessed with friendship like we have been all these years! Hopefully it will be with each other. :) Here is a little snapshot of our big day at the zoo...

Getting out of the car and heading into the zoo... they were ready to go :)

Olivia was ready to see animals with her sippy cup in hand!!! Especially the monkeys.

She just can't get enough of Mary Lee. I think Olivia would sit in the stroller with Mary Lee if we would let her.

Checking out the flamingos

Let me start by saying that the little girls did pretty good on the carousel but the big girls (chan and I) did not do so well. When did we get so old that the carousel makes you dizzy and queasy??? How sad!! Chan and I were soooooo ready for this ride to be over with!!! haha

After about an hour at the zoo the girls both decided that it was time for a nap. They must have told each other that it was nap time because they both passed out at the exact same time, to the minute! :)

Precious babies!

After about a 20 minute nap, Olivia was ready to eat lunch and see some more animals!!

We decided to play in the splash park for a little while and she had a blast!!! She loved playing in the water and watching all of the kids run around! She just laughed and laughed and laughed. This is her clapping her hands because she was so excited!

After a change of clothes for Livi, since we both got so wet at the splash park (too bad I didn't bring a change of clothes for myself) we headed to see the monkeys.

Loved Chan's fan

This monkey came right up to the glass and put its hands on the glass like he was saying hello. The girls loved watching him.

We had such a great day and can't wait to go back!! Turned out to be a beautiful day with great friends!!
