Zoo

My mom was coming to visit last Monday and since it was going to be a beautiful day we decided to meet her at the zoo! Normally a zoo visit takes us 2 hrs max...this trip to the zoo took almost 4 hours! Emmie and Ellie were sooo into all the zoo animals and rides. The girls had a great time showing Gran all the wonderful things at the zoo and we've decided that we're going to have to go back after tax season and take Grandaddy.

 

There was a flamingo right up at the fence which I've never seen before. It was a little freaky to have one so close but kind of cool as well.

Emmie loves feeding the little giraffes.

Ellie gave the giraffe a piece of lettuce and then let Gran do the rest.

The girls totally worked the system. We were going to Chick-fil-A for lunch and I told the girls they could have an ICEE at the zoo or an ice cream at CFA. So Emmie picked the ICEE and Ellie picked the ice cream and they shared with each other. I love this picture of them sharing the ICEE. Ellie was laying on the top of the table...so funny!

 

After the zoo we went to lunch and then back to our house where I put Gran to measuring and cutting fabric for the curtains and dust ruffle in Emmie and Ellie's room. I finished the curtains the other night and am so pleased with how they turned out!
