The Zoo

We went to the zoo this past weekend and I'm just getting around to posting pictures...there are a bunch.

Jasen's old friend Frank who he hasn't seen in years, his wife Stacy and their two kids Aiden and Madison (Madi) joined us for the day.

Looking at the tortoises...

Ava on her tippy toes to get a closer look at the tortoise coming her way.

Animal watching

Ava trying her hardest to get out of mommy's arms and over the deck rail to get to the cougars below...

Ava and Daddy headed off to feed the animals (This is my favorite picture of Ava and Jasen)

Ava and Daddy, Stacy, Madi and Frank (Aiden had run off to the next animal exhibit)

Ava feeding the sheep. She LOVED this and also tried to feed every animal after this by throwing them food over the fence or with mommy and daddy's help through the fence.

Sitting on the merry-go-round

When Ava saw the lion she actually quietly roared like a lion

Talking to the ducks in the picnic area

Ava had a great time and had a lot of fun with Madi (especially at lunch). She slept on the way there, on the way back and again after a diaper change when we got home. She was fine that morning when we left but once we got home she felt really warm and we learned she was running a temperature. Between her big day at the zoo and feeling under the weather when we got home she was very tuckered out.
