A trip to the zoo!


It was such a treat to have Daddy home for a good while around Christmas...he was off the whole week after Christmas! The weather was so nice and unseasonably warm for late December, so we decided to take a trip to the zoo with Jack's buddy Hodges, his sister Manning, and their Mommy Regan. We had such a good time seeing all the animals, eating a picnic lunch and enjoying the nice day. It was a big help having an extra set of hands around to help with the kiddos, too...and of course Jack and Hodges loved having Daddy/Mr. John to play with and help them see all the animals.



Jack and Daddy checking out the bats...Yuck!

Jack and Daddy at the Elephants (not sure what Jack's doing with his sunglasses here!)


Jack and Hodges...long lost buddies (they'd only just seen each other about a day before this...although it looked like they hadn't seen each other in weeks!)

Jack was obsessed with finding sticks all day!


Rylee liked getting out of the stroller to look at the penguins

Hey Rebekah! I LOVE the pediped shoes we have for Anna! I'm kind of a nerd and did lots of shoe research before I bought them and they really are great! They are a bit pricey, but totally worth it. The soles are definitely thick enough, even though they're flexible, that they're great for outside. Anna wears hers everywhere and they are perfect for beginner walkers (that's why I bought them in the first place). Hope this helps. Your kids are absolutely adorable!!
