Since Mommy is on maternity leave, Daddy is on vacation, and Ms. Cindye is closed we've been getting to send spend lots of time together as a new family of four. This week, before we left for New Mexico, we decided to take the kids to the zoo. The day was not too hot and not too windy. Both kids were in a fairly good mood so we set out on our big adventure.
***Just a warning for one of my very dear friends...there is a picture of the "s word" and I didn't want you to pass out***
Reagan loved the zoo...she walked all over and wore herself completely out. Her favorite animals were in the reptile house and, of course, the spider monkeys. Or should I say spider monkey! She also thought she could run down the bridge at the giraffes and face plated on the concrete. Luckily we made it away from that with only a skinned knee. Nothing that a little lion from the zoo gift shop couldn't fix! All in all it was a fun start to another vacation.
Now...check out some pictures:

This was how Adam was enjoying the zoo in his carseat. Looks about like Reagan's 1st trip to the zoo!
***Warning***Snakes in following picture***
Reagan was fascinated by the rattlesnakes. Kinda makes us worried that if she sees them in the wild she would try to pick it up!
Next...the flamingos
Then the turtles...sorry no pictures of the turtles! Only our cute little monkey!
Reagan loved running around the zoo!
And...then about the time we got to the rhinos she had run her little legs off! But, she quickly found some new, longer legs!
Spider monkeys! We stayed here the longest. 1) It was shaded 2) Adam decided to wake up to eat 3) Reagan and the monkey were in deep conversation!
See...Adam WAS awake and he DOES have eyes. Not too sure about the sour little face though!
After our fun day at the zoo...Adam and Reagan napped. After Reagan's nap we had a snack while Adam napped some more. Then, apparently, our talks about sharing have paid off! Reagan decided to share EVERY sippy cup that she has with her Bubba (as she calls him). Speaking of which...I'm not too sure that she even knows that his name is Adam! This could be bad!
Thanks for the warning. I just closed my eyes and scrolled down. Cherish the family times. Your lucky that you get to have them. (hence the reason that you enjoy maternity leave much more than I do:) I think that Adam and Reagan have spent more time in a camper than I have!!!
