Zoo Trip

In the heat of July, we decided it would be a great time to head to the zoo. We picked a day that was the coolest of the week (not quite 90 degrees) but we had a great time anyway! We weren't sure if Courtney would really be able to take notice of the animals or even know she was at a zoo, but she really paid attention to the animals and loved strolling around in the "woods".



Courtney was so scared of the lion she was biting her nails...then she realized the glass was there! Whew!












Intently watching the birds and a tired old chimp (we think he was lonely...).








Video of Courtney watching the elephants.

Courtney watching some monkeys eat lunch.

This is how we felt after walking miles around the zoo.
And in other news...here is some cute stuff from Miss Courtney also from this week.
This is a great video of Courtney laughing. We finally had the video camera right there to capture those cute giggles! We finally put together her high chair (although she has no need for it). It will probably just be another fun place to sit and play while mom and dad eat dinner.

Yikes! A ghost!

I LOVE her giggles! We still haven't been able to get Kaitlynn laughing on video yet. I also just put together our high chair today! We need to get the two of them together again so that we can see what they will do laying/sitting beside each other. Especially now that their personalities are really starting to shine through!

So Cute! We need to get the boys to the zoo this summer, but we aren't brave enough to face the heat of July. Maybe this fall.:) She is just adorable.

THe video of her laughing was awesome! The zoo is great, we took Ashley there a few weeks ago and bought a family pass to go more - I think it will be even better when it's not so flippin hot!!!

She's a cutie, I haven't seen her in awhile, I need to get over there and see her again :)
