As much as we are watching our children to see what they do with thier lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours.

Lion, tigers and bears oh my!

Last week we went to the Richmond Zoo with our playgroup. It was a surprisingly chilly day so the zoo was not too crowded. Neither of my daughters have been to the zoo so I was excited for them to see the animals.
The easiest way to get a group photo of 7 kids is with them all strapped in and yes, we all love BOB strollers
There were lots of animals that Isabella recognized and a few new ones too. The giraffe and the monkeys seemed to be the biggest hit with the kids. Although, my favorite was the beautiful peacock that spread its feathers for the Mammarazi.

A neat aspect of the Richmond zoo was being able to feed the giraffes (and a few other animals too). Isabella was not too interested in feeding the giraffe but the giraffe wanted to nibble on Isabella.
Did you know that a giraffes tongue is 18-20 inches long? Wow.
I guess that giraffe knew how sweet Isabella was... Our final encounter was to the bird sanctuary where we were able to feed the birds. The girls were exhausted after a morning of fun.
Isabella is getting into dress up clothes these days. Some days she is a ballerina and others a Miss Fix it .

This has been a big week for Sophia. She rolled over from her back to her tummy and she can sit up for a few seconds.

Day is done, gone the sun...the girls snuggle in our bed before bath time.
Snuggle with Sprout (i.e. Calliou, Elmo or Bob the Builder)

Sweet dreams little ones
