zoo blues

it was like 27 degrees on monday - pretty much summer weather if you ask me (yay!), so a bunch of us mom got our shorts on and broke out the sunscreen and headed to the zoo together. there were 7 moms and 11 kids, and we had lots of fun!

my zoo experience wasn't so much fun to begin with though, and this is how i spent the 1st 1/2 hour or so. beckam was not into his stroller at all and was freakin out and so sad :( so, i carried him and pushed an empty stroller for a bit and then pulled out the bottle to help the smiles come out....

 

thankfully, it didn't take long cuz this face is no fun to deal with or look at - so sad but so cute too!

 

we got to the elephants just in time for bath time, and i had to post a picture of mom and baby cooling off together. they were blowing water on each other, and the baby was crawling all over his mom, and it was just too cute!

 

and here's a smile from my boy! here is one of my 52 mother/child pictures and yay for a smile and him actually looking at the camera :) we had tons of fun soaking up the sun and visiting as we followed the kids around and checked out the cute zoo animals. i love this weather, and i love the zoo, and i love the fun crew that we roll with down here!

Love this hat, we really need to find him on. Maybe we will find one at the stores during our girls night out. Can't wait to get back out in the sun, you gotta keep me walking so I don't blow up like a ballon!

so jealous!!!! i'm sure you've heard, but we just got a tonne of snow! so, while we hibernated, you were wearing flip flops and sunscreen....my girls were in their full blown snow gear!

That sad little face was too much! Oh! I just wanted to give him a hug.

But that last picture is the stuff of dreams. So perfect.

And how great would the elephants be? I'd love to have seen that.
