Mini Vacation - Day One

Last week, Kevin was able to take some time off from work and we enjoyed a mini-vacation. First up was Chloe's first trip to the zoo. She spent a lot of time looking like this:


Peering over/around the stroller to see all the interesting sites. Of course, if she couldn't see the animals in the exhibit, we took her out to look. I asked Chloe where the rhinoceros was....

Yep! That's it! :)

We had a really good view of the elephants....although Chloe seemed more interested in their fountain and water....

and this giraffe was eating leaves off the tree:


The gorillas had just finished eating lunch....

and the American Black Bear was taking a nap:

Chloe's favorite part of the day was the time we spent in the aquarium. She liked being close to the fish and watching them swim around.


We saw sting-rays...
and the polar bear....


and watched the sharks eat lunch!
The last animals we saw were the sea lions. Kevin was taking video while one sea lion started following Chloe and I! It was pretty funny!



We had a great day at the zoo! Next post: what we did for the rest of our vacation!

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...
