Zoo Weather--Finally

The Hahns have been a huge blessing to us over the past year. Emily has been through residency and always has such sound advice and empathy on those nights/weekends of call and 8:30 evenings. I just love her and her boys. We went to the zoo on the one glorious, nice day out of eighty scorchers. It was a fun time and this giraffe cracked us up trying to get the cracker Asher was feeding his friend.

Amelia and Asher had a blast on the playground. I've always thought it was too big for Amelia but I let her try it and lo and behold she did everything by herself!



Asher started Junior Kindergarten Thursday and he goes every day, all day! This was our last chance to do something with him during the week. Boo--getting so big.
We got to see them feed Elroy the warthog for the first time and it was really neat. His favorite treat is sweet potatoes. Amelia got a little disgusted that SHE couldn't feed Elroy, but Emily lured her away with some snacks. After we got home Amelia pretended to either be a zookeeper feeding me or she was a zebra--for about three hours. She always wants to play fun, imaginative stuff.

I have no pictures of Elise because she wouldn't ride in the stroller and was in the backpack for two and a half hours. She rode in there without making a peep, so no complaints. I definitely got my workout in.

A fun and wonderful morning with our best buds!

  2. Ingrid, Derek, and I are definitely on the zoo list for when it cools off a bit. Can't believe we've never taken our little animal-lover to the zoo! Love the pics. Glad you had a fun day with Asher before school started.
