Zoo Sleepover

The girls and I got to tag along with a friend's Girl Scout Troop on an overnight at the Zoo!  We had a lot of fun together :)

We slept in an education building (I was glad not to be near animals during the night!) and dropped our stuff off first.  We met the ladies who would be the 'teachers' and played a few games.



Our first stop in the Zoo was near the aquarium where there is breeding of different fish.  These ones are cuttlefish.



There were also sand-dollars and hermit crabs in another tank. 


After this building, we got a behind-the-scenes look at the aquarium. I snapped a picture from behind the moonjelly tank (my favorite!)


We also learned about these "archer fish" that can shoot water from their mouths to move food down from trees (or in this case, the aquarium glass).



We spent the evening in the aquarium, playing more games, and enjoying the creation!





At 11:30......it was finally bedtime!  We shared an air mattress and took a selfie before attempting to go to sleep ;)


In the morning the girls got to do a craft and then we met more animals!  A bearded dragon, an armadillo, a python, and an owl!





We had a great time on our overnight! :)

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
