Zoo trip

Mommy Moment: Something I really appreciate about my family is their interest in doing things, getting outside and being active! I hope that we can encourage our children to be involved in things, enjoy new things and stay active! Also, my family taught us to LOVE spending time together. We always attended each other's events (sports, ballet, music performances)... and I pray we can instill the same interest and care towards one another in our girls!

Back to the ZOO TRIP!

We had a quick trip out east to visit family and attend a wedding (next post). While with my mom we had a fun trip to the Zoo in Springfield, MA. It is small and if allowed my girls could do the whole thing in less than 5 minutes. We tried to slow them down.

Doubly excited because we had Aunt Mimi and cousin Micah to enjoy the day with us! Micah was quite taken with Dan and wanted to be held, carried or with him most of the time. It was cute. Micah is a doll and calls me "KK" - a nickname I carried for a short while as a child.

LOTS of pics...

Linnea LOVES feeding the animals!

And Mommy had fun enjoying the experience with her!

Of course, Linnea enjoyed that after she recovered from a frightful experience with this camel... Daddy held her up at the fence and didn't take her down even when the camel was right in her face. Needless to say she hated that and screamed/cried for a while. Got over it and fed all the goats! She does love animals... just not when they charge!

Signe LOVES her some Mormor time! Aren't the sweet together? I love how much my girls and my mom love each other! Its pretty special I must say!

Pretty sure these emu wanted to nibble on Micah's fingers... he was very willing to stick them in the fence! And his mommy was very quick to keep them out!

MONKEY Linnea & LEOPARD Signe!

Isn't he just the cutest? And my sister is gorgeous! What a mom she is!

If you look low, you see Micah through the fence. And the girls on the rail were attempting to call a painted turtle in a little pond to them... he actually listened. Probably thought he'd be fed!

Mormor and her little bud, Micah!

Micah and another animal friend!

We had a blast and loved our time with family!
