Zoo and a carnival

We've had a busy weekend around here!  But, its been fun! Since Jamie  has been off this week, on Friday we took B to the zoo for her first time.  It was a lot of fun.  Thankfully, it wasn't too hot either so it was really nice to be outside and walk around.  The zoo was really crowded but I've never seen it when its not.   We went around lunch time so it wasn't too bad.

 This is not the best picture because of the glass but she LOVED the monkeys.
I'm not surprised since her favorite book is Eight Silly Monkeys.
They had a Africa exhibit and this is one of the African Elephants.
Looking at the lion..he was so close to the glass

Love this sweet face! Waiting in the line for the train.
All aboard the train!

We had a great time and B absolutely loved it.  She never fussed not one time.. until we got in the car to go home.  =) She loves to be outside and watch people (just like her mama) so it was the perfect day.  I think we're gonna have to get a zoo membership since it cost a fortune for Jamie and I to get in.  ha!

On Saturday, we went to Family Day with my dads work, Alabama Power. It was a lot of fun too.
We didn't realize what a big shin-dig it was until we got there.  There was a ton of people, lots of carnvial rides, FREE food and it was yummy, Jim N Nicks, funnel cakes, candy apples, snow cones, you name it they had it.  They had bands, a kid stage with a magician and a puppeter, a petting zoo, a kid play area, horsey rides, train rides and the list goes on.  There was so much to do.  Next year, B will really have a blast on all the rides.
She waved and waved to the bear and when we got close she wasn't so sure.

Weeee...
She loved the grape sno cone.
This picture makes me laugh.. She was all about the lion from a distance and when Mimi got close she jumped back..ha!

Today, Jamie got the garage all cleaned out and I even had a dinner date with a sweet friend.  
It was a great fun weekend!
Here's to a great week!
