Zoo

My sister Melanie who lives in Flagstaff came down here to the desert while her husband was out of town.  So, since my other sister Becky and I both live here, we all went to the zoo together with all the kiddos.  We have a membership so we go fairly often, but the new DRAGON exhibit enticed us to return.

 

It was a very nice day and good times together.

How do babies sleep like this??????

Mel’s baby boy Etienne is six months old so Conner and him are super close in age.  Fun!

Here’s another poser—this lady baboon couldn’t get enough of the camera.  Geesh!

Since this exhibit was brand new on the day we went, the zoo was pretty packed.  We actually had to stand in line to see these guys, but it moved pretty fast.

And here she is in all her glory.

We realized that this situation was screaming for a photo op.

Ella LOVES her Aunt Becky.  She is always coming over and playing with the kids and stuff and lots of times when we pull up in the driveway from somewhere Ella will say, “Aunt Becky?  Aunt Becky?” hoping she will be there.  We are so blessed to have her close by.HPIM1026

 

You know how it is..one person decides to take a picture through the hole in the cave, and then before you know it…well, you can see for yourself here what happens.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!  Can’t wait to get out of town and have fun in the White Mountains…I better finish up that packing. :)
