Zoo Day

Emma and I braved the heat today and went to the Brevard Zoo! It was a lot of fun - but wow is it hot already! Emma is at a good age for this now...she was really interested in seeing the animals. That is except those birds [biting incident last year :-)]. I think she still remembers. We ventured into the aviary and Emma said, "let's go see something else Mom!" Too funny. We saw giraffes, monkeys, ducks, boars, macaws, birds, alligators, deer, and bald eagles. Then we thought it was time to cool off - so we of course made a visit to the splash pad/wading pool @ the zoo! Perfect ending!

Pinkle Pinkle Little Star

We are finally home after our first long road trip with Emma since she was a baby! She did GREAT! We were actually VERY surprised...she did wonderful on the 9 hour drive up and back. We split the drive and I think that helped - and she loved staying in a hotel! She was a little angel!

We had so much fun in NC visiting MeMe & Pop Pop. Emma loved riding the golf cart and running around on the golf course looking for balls at night. We went swimming, saw [and pet] miniature horses, went to a small town 4th of July Parade, and just enjoyed being in the mountains. We also went on a hike at Fire's Creek - and played in the creek with rocks afterwards. This was definitely a highlight!

Emma also really started singing this weekend. It was so cute...she kept singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star...but her version is "Pinkle Pinkle Little Star!" Adorable! She also loves to sing "Jesus Loves Me," and "ABC's". She loved singing her songs into a pretend microphone (door knob) and with Pop Pop's guitar! Enjoy some of our favorite photos from the weekend! And yes - we're still pacy free :-) Hooray!
