Sunday at the Zoo

We went to the zoo with Auntie Dana this past Sunday just to get out and enjoy the sun. Lauren had just awaken from a nap so she was a little grumpy in the beginning. It took her a while before she warmed up.

"HI Daddy!!"
This was not easy to crawl into but Lauren wouldn't go in without me :)

Playing in the Children's zoo.

Out by the tortoise exhibit. The expression on her face is her "Where is it?" expression.

Dana can tell you Lauren spent quite a long time in these white rocks that I think are supposed to be eggs. She kept climbing all over them.

"Hi tortoise!"

"A kiss for the tortoise"
This was the funniest thing. Of course Auntie Dana was laughing at how much saliva Lauren left after the kiss.

Here she is playing in the turtle again without any coaxing from Mommy. She keeps wanting to stand up in there.

So Lauren puts her hands under her chin when we tell her say "Cheese". So now I just tell her to smile and she gives me a big smile without the hand posing.

"Oh... the frog has a nose!"
Lauren of course stuck her fingers in the nostrils. Whenever we see the frog I tell her to show me the eyes and the nose. She sees other kids climbing these frogs so of course she wants to climb them too. She is a little to small yet but she tries.

Thanks Auntie Dana for coming to the zoo and hanging out with us! We miss seeing you!

Lauren went to a pumpkin patch that same day because Mommy had to do some work. Eric will post the pics and story on that one.
