At the zoo

Monday ... you guessed it. We went to the zoo. I decided after mid-afternoon naps that we were all going to go out and do something fun with my last unofficial day of summer before I started school. But was I crazy taking all three girls alone? To the zoo?
We had pretty much free reign of the zoo and it was fantastic. Abby was able to run around and look at whatever animals she wanted without me needing to worry that someone would snatch her. As long as I could see her she was free.
There was a beautiful baby giraffe and I think that she was as enamored with it as I was. Look at how cute it is! (sorry it's really small in the picture... but that little stick thing is a giraffe) 
She enjoyed climbing the fences to look at the animals. The turtle's over..... there!
She loved the baby goats and they loved her shirt!

It was a beautiful day and the girls all did so well. Abby listened and loved looking at all of the animals. It was funny I tried to get some water from a vending machine but they were all out. So I got an orange soda. Abby really liked it but I'd only let her have a little at a time. So SHE decided she was getting her own and kept pushing all of the buttons trying to figure it out. Now every time she sees a vending machine she tries to get a pop out :o)
Poor Kiley and Kara spent most of the time in the stroller drinking their bottles. They liked watching Abby run all over though. This is how Abby rides on the front of the stroller when we go places. It works really well actually! Well except for that one time... but otherwise great!

She loves ducks... this was her favorite place after the baby goats. At least the ducks don't eat her clothes...

Pearl rides on Ike's stroller like that, too, although she is MUCH bigger. I am worried she will tip ours, since it is just a single.

Everyone is a genius. but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it is stupid...

"My three little wild children were running around the house, I asked Abby why they all had their clothes off... she looked at me very seriously and said "We're scavengers!" Would love to know where she got that..." (February 2012)

Overheard Abby playing with her Barbies during bedtime: "Fairytopia is dead. Guys don't planick."... a little while later... "Ariel is dead! Planick?... Planick planick!!!!" (March 2012)

Abby was running around in church. I swiftly stopped her and very seriously said "We aren't supposed to run in Jesus's house." Very seriously she replied "Jesus lives in my heart mommy." Point Abby- (May 2012)
