Zoo Boo Hoo (and Lots of Fun)

On Sunday, we all headed to the zoo to check out the wedding locale for CB and Emily’s big day this coming Saturday. They will be tying the knot at the sea lion exhibit, and we tagged along with them to look for wedding picture spots and also talk up the festivities to Helen Grace. We experienced a preview of the sweltering almost-July temperatures, and we are all praying for a dramatic cold front to come through just in time for the wedding. Regardless of the heat, we will have a great time celebrating CB and Emily’s marriage, and we had a really fun and laid back day palling around our beautiful zoo! We were able to keep Helen Grace away from the playground until after lunch. She was in hog heaven- even more than seeing the ‘animals’- when she found it. In order for us to leave, we physically had to grab her up and start walking toward the exit with her screaming and crying. Brilliant Emily started talking to her about how we could all go to the pool later that afternoon and also see Teddy, so by the time we got to the car, HG was no longer causing strangers to look at us like we were beating our child. :) Fun times!
