The Zoo






Alathea's favorite part of the trip- Daddy.


Showing Avery how to stand on one leg.(Avery's not looking too impressed).


Little Seth just looked to cute not to post :)


A little over a week ago we had the joy of taking the girls to the Columbia Zoo! It was an incredibly fun day...especially for Alathea. She kept saying all day, "No go bye-bye, Yay-yay stay at zoo!" I think she would have been fine if we left her there :). We went with a bunch of our friends to celebrate two of Alathea's best buddies birthdays. The Columbia Zoo was so kid friendly. The animals seemed so close. The gorilla's were my favorite- they put on a show for us. The would literally stampede down the hill strait towards the glass right at us- they certainly looked big enough to bust through! Alathea's favorite was the flamingos. She loves them because they are pink and stand on one leg. She loves to stand on one leg just like them :) Joe's favorite was the birds. He must of had 7 of them on him at one time. The best part of the trip was when Alathea actually held one of them herself! It was brief but pretty cool!

By the end of the day everyone was pretty tired- parents and kids. But it was a fun adventure together! I hope we can go back soon!

so... was Abi there?

Yes, my little Abbers was there, sitting in the stroller for 4 hours :) I guess that is what happens to amazingly good babie's like her. Stroller pictures just aren't that interesting so I didn't want to bore you with them. She did really like the animals and I think she had a fun day :)

That gorilla in the first picture is quite intimidating!!!

I love that picture of Alathea and Joe walking together. Seeing David with Kate now makes me treasure dad's relationships with their little girls so much more!

Thanks for the Starbucks and chat yesterday! It was a treat:)
