Birthday Trip to the Zoo!

We had a wonderful afternoon at the zoo!

First stop? The conservatory!

Here's Grace wearing her new "Princess" outfit from Grandma & Grandpa Larson!

(She couldn't wait to put it on...as soon as she opened her present! =)

Looking at the fishies!

A quick attempt for a sibling picture!

(Eli wasn't too fond if Grace's choke hold :)

Of course... we saw lots of animals!

Grace "riding" a giraffe! =)

Eli loved seeing all the animals!

(His first trip to the zoo...now that he's old enough to enjoy the animals! :)

Eli getting an even better view!

More animals...

Checking out the polar bears!

Grace was ready to walk and help Daddy push the wagon!

So strong!

Grace pulled Eli almost all the way to the car!

A ride on the turtle before we left...

All by herself! :)

Flowers!

On our way back to the car, we saw lots of beautiful flowers!

I love the expression on Grace's face when she smells the flowers :)

Taking a quick break before finishing our walk! :)

Ice Cream!

After a toasty afternoon at the zoo, we were all ready for some ice cream! :)

We started the morning off with birthday treats! Gracie picked out a doughnut for everyone to enjoy as a special morning treat! :)

Eli was very excited about his doughnut :)

Big Smiles!

Summer Sunshine!

Today was the first day it was warm enough for us to break out the sprinkler and little pool!

Grace and Eli had so much fun! We sure do love summer! =)
