A Trip to the Zoo
The Girls, Kobe, and I went to the zoo with Esther and her kids, and Grandpa and Grandma. Here are the four older ones checking out the alligators.

Ambry and Piper hugging it out while Kobe sleeps on in his stroller.
A cute pic of Ambry and Lulu with Piper swinging in the background. She didn't want her pic taken. She's funny like that lately.
All of the kids minus Kobe and Esther's little one.
Kobe sleeping in his stroller. He won't sleep on his back so I lay the stroller as flat as I can and he snoozes away.
Probably the funniest part of the whole trip. Piper caught this chicken that was running around outside one of the cages. I could not believe she just went up to the chicken and grabbed it...
...then she didn't want to let it go...
...so she gave it a nice goodbye hug...and I just waited for that chicken to peck at her...but nothing happened, and Piper left happy thinking that chicken was one of her best friends. :)

A day at the "zoo"...or sort of since we forgot to check hours and it ended up being an hour at the jungle gym at the zoo. :)
This was where she went to clean off her feet. :)
Ambry and Sage hiding from the boys.
Violet being Violet.
Look at those gorgeous eyes!
Piper's "baby" taking a nap. Yes, I know, pointless pic but I couldn 't resist. I think it is so cute that my girls both take along "babies" where ever we go. Ambry's bunny was sitting in the stroller the whole time we were playing. :)
A fun day despite not being able to see the animals.
Piper cleaning her feet. She can not stand for the to be dirty. The slightest piece of dirt on her feet and it is a serious trauma to her. :)

Last week, Kaylynn came and picked up the girls and took them to the zoo. She also had Kasey and Raelyn with her. Our cousin Rosie went along to help her out. Quite ambitious of Kaylynn if I do say so myself. :)

All 4 of the girls on a statue by the entrance to the zoo.
Thanks Kaylynn (and Rosie) for taking the girls! They had a blast with you. :)

A Saturday afternoon trip to the zoo with Uncle Gerrit and soon-to-be Aunt Jen.
Piper trying to pet the goat.
Gerrit with his "new pet". You might think I'm joking but he seriously wants on of these pygmy goats.
Jen and Piper with the pygmy goats. These little guys are probably our favorite things to watch and pet. They are so little and just the right size for the girls. I suppose if Gerrit and Jen really get one, I know where we will be going to get our "pet fix".
And a pic of the girls and me. I have really been trying to get more pics of Caleb and me with the girls. I have so many individual pics but not a whole lot of pics with all of us.
Can you tell we are definitely getting some use out of our zoo membership? We have even gotten Piper to recognize some of the animals. Not everything is "do-do" anymore. My 2 favorite ones that she says are, "mon-ey" for monkey and "yion" for lion.
Happy Monday!
Just a side note...this is post 200! Woot! Who would have thought I would actually stick to something this long? Certainly not I!

We took a trip to the zoo on Saturday. Between the two girls, Piper definitely enjoyed it more. Everything was "Do-do!" (Doggie!) We tried telling her the different names of the animals, but she didn't get it at all. :)
The girls petting the pygmy goats.
Ambry with a butterfly face painting.
Piper kept saying "Mmmmm" when she saw the monkeys. I think it was because the monkeys were eating when we were looking at them.
Check out the faces on these monkeys. They were really close to the glass (these were some inside a building) and they had these little old man faces. These were Ambry's favorite thing to look at. See Piper and Caleb in the background? She was also very excited.
Josh and Tara, and their nieces, Kylie and Haylie, came too. Here they were all throwing the bread to the ducks...the very squishy, year-old bread that I pulled out of the freezer that morning. Some pieces were a tad hard while others were totally mushy. Sorry guys!
Dustin and Braiden checking out the ducks. He kept trying to take a nose dive into the water.
Family pic! Caleb even looks pretty happy in this pic. :)
We purchased a membership to the zoo so we are looking forward to going there a lot on the weekends. So if anyone wants to join us, give us a call!Labels: Ambry and Piper pics, Zoo
