We're going to the zoo, zoo, how about you, you?

We spent Sunday afternoon at the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a little cold and overcast, but we had a good time seeing the animals. We saw some pandas, elephants, lions and cubs (E does a great lion roar), small mammals, zebras and the best was the orangutan swinging from the wires above us. We've been to the zoo a few times, but this is the first time they've been climbing around on them. It's like something from Jurassic Park. We enjoyed a picnic lunch of turkey wraps, chips and grapes and made it home by 2pm for a good nap.Elizabeth also had her first cotton candy experience...she liked it (did you doubt it)! Sarah was great during our adventure. She rode in the stroller mostly, but for a little while she got to see everything from the baby bjorn carrier. Then, dad had to put her to sleep in his arms at lunch time. The fresh air was good for all of us!


Elizabeth taking the must-get "zoo" photo with her Goodnight Washington, DC book - thanks Shannon and Nathan! She is really into that book right now and going to Washington, DC (little does she realize we live in the suburbs...guess it seems as far to her now as it does to you guys!)


Who's that monkey in the window?

Mmmm...cotton candy - Elizabeth picked blue over pink


Sarah likes to ride in style!
