Kennedy's Frist Zoo Trip


Today we made an impromptu visit to the National Zoo. So impromptu in fact, I didn't have my camera and it didn't occur to me until after we were there that it was Kennedy's first zoo visit! The first time to the zoo and no pictures?!?!? What kind of a mother am I??? So, in order to make up for the lack of pictures at the zoo I naturally had to take a picture of Kennedy playing with a number of the animals (elephants, zebras, pandas, cheetahs {although our toy is actually a leopard}, tiger {we saw orange ones not white}) we saw today. We obviously saw more anyimals than those in the pictures, such as the Capybara, that we don't have an animal handy to pose her with - but then I probably wouldn't have taken Kennedy's picture with the Capybara even if I'd had my camera... Anyhoo... it's not quite the same, but I guess it will have to do. lol :) Even though I don't have official pictures to go with it I can report that Kennedy enjoyed the zoo today. She paid more attention to the people than the animals but overall we had a very nice day and it was great just to be outside again enjoying a break from all our rain! :)



Reagan was very good today and I believe throughly enjoyed being outside. Because Reagan was being so good and it had been a while since we'd been outside (due to the ton of rain we've been receiving) I decided to not worry about her nap. That was a bit of a mistake... While trying to show her the female lion she got mad and tried to get away. In the process she ended up "crashing in a muddy puddle." She was mud from head to toe. The mud was in her hair and all over her clothes. I really wish I'd had my camera to take a picture of her before we cleaned her up! Here she is looking at her pants after we got back saying they are "yucky." What a little stinker!

She sure is a cute little stinker though!

Thank you to Grandma Karen for the matching outfits the girls are wearing! :)
