i go zoom

this weekend my husband and i took my niece to the zoo. as she says, "i go zoom today with aunt keddy and aunt bant".

yes, aunt bant. my thought is that she doesn't understand the difference between aunt and uncle. my sister seems to think it started when my husband held ellie's dog purse a few weekends ago.

either way, we had a great time with her seeing all the animals. her favorites were the cheetas, tiger and dolphins. she was so precious saying "ohhh wow" in a whisper over and over when we were in the dolphin viewing area. it was like she was taken back by the beauty and simple things in life. just mesmerized. and of course getting "kickin' nuddets" from mcdonalds on our way home was fun too!

taking photos was very challenging - watching her, playing and having fun all while trying to take pictures was tough. good practice for when we have our own later i guess!


for the adults reading, i have to say we saw something very rare that afternoon - two rhinos mating. apparently, this is a very big deal. i just told ellie the rhinos were busy :)
