Yesterday Tom Aubrey and myself had family date night, that included a trip to the zoo, supper at Chili's and a quick trip to Lows. This was the first time that Tom has been to the zoo in years, and Aubrey and I hadn't been since last August. We all had a great time and it was fun to see Aubrey get so excited about the animals. Oh and yes she is wearing a monkey "leash", I use to see kids with these and think that is awful. Now, eating my words it is wonderful! Aubrey found hers in the bottom of the closet last week so I put it on her and she wore it around outside for a long time. It was perfect for the zoo and other parents wanted to know where to get one.
Spotted her first animal
She made this face several times, this is her saying "what do you see"
I see a monkey
She loved watching the monkeys
Our little monkey
Checking out the fish and turtles
This goose got very close to Aubrey, she loved it and after the goose "honked" at her she started saying "honk honk"
Notice how close this otter got to the glass
Aubrey never even saw it, all she saw was
"bubbles bubbles"
Looking for the alligators
Bird on the loose, Aubrey will catch it
"SHHH wion aseep" translation shhh lion is asleep (ps it wasn't a lion)
We also went to 2 very special graduations the past 2 weeks. First one was Emalee's kindergarten graduation. I didn't get pictures from her graduation because Aubrey was with me so I couldn't get up to go where I could see her better. I did get one very sweet picture afterward.
Rylee was so happy to see her sister, she gave her a big hug
The second was Zac's graduation,we are very proud of him.
Rena,Ben and Mollie came in for Zac's graduation, so we got to spend some time with them. On Thursday we met them at the park. Some how I didn't take any pictures from the park but, Rena has some on her blog. On Friday they came down to maw maw and paw paws.
Mollie loved the sloppy joe
Aubrey wanted to sit by Ben, so he scooted over to share his chair. Aubrey leaned over on him and he put his arm around her. Ben's eyes are squinty in this picture but it was to sweet not to post.
Mamaw and Olivia stopped by one morning and we thought it was funny that the girls had on matching pj's
Aubrey got a new pick nick table and she loves it, she even wanted to sleep on it
Aubrey got this sprinkler for her birthday last year and I got it out one evening for her to play in. She loved it! We ran in and out of if for a straight hour before she stopped for a break.
Sad news is it only lasted a few evenings before it busted. Aubrey kept saying bye bye water.
