Our Day at the Zoo

Today Trevor and Mommy went to the zoo with their friend Stacey and her two cuties, Evie and Eli. Well, actually, Stacey's Mom was there too for a little while and it was so great seeing her. Sara hadn't seen her in like 20 years!! Seeing her brought back a lot of memories of slumber parties at Stacey's back in 7th grade (one memory that sticks out is she let us have brownies for breakfast because brownies have eggs in them and eggs are a breakfast food - love her!). It was rather toasty at the zoo today but it didn't keep us away, nor did it keep the animals indoors.

Around one of the trails they have a sprinkler to help cool. No one in our party used it but we were able to capture a pretty cool pic. Who doesn't like little rainbows?

We spent some time in the zoo's playground. Eli was enjoying watching what the bigger kids were doing and even took his turn on the large mouth bass rocker.

Sara loves to see little Eli because she is reminded that Trevor will be doing what he is doing in just a few years. He is sure a cutie!!

Miss Evie was all about the cotton candy. She let her Mama know just about every 5 minutes that she was going to get the cotton candy that she was promised and her Mama did not let her down. After lunch she carefully selected the bag she wanted (which she later told Sara was the one with the most pink cotton candy in it)! Boy did she inhale that cotton candy. It did not appear as though she let any of it dissolve on her tongue, rather she took a bite, chewed quickly, and swallowed as fast as possible so she could get more and follow the same routine. If there was a cotton candy eating contest, we're sure she would win!

Eli ate his a little more daintily. He's lucky he got any before his sister took it down! Side note, Sara bets she was the same way as Evie as a little girl....especially with sweets...yes, any sweets.

After lunch we headed over to the jumpy water. Trevor wasn't interested in it whatsoever, but Evie loved it.


She twirled, sprayed, stomped, and played til her heart was content. Eli was more like Trevor, not too interested (well, don't blame him, the water was a bit cold even on the hot day). But he did enjoy taking his Mama's hand and walking all around the jumpy water.

Thanks Stacey, Evie, and Eli for a wonderful time. Can't wait to get together again soon and yes, Miss Evie, we won't forget the special crackers :)
