Animals with the girlies

Animals seems to be the theme for the last two weeks. Thursday we went to the zoo and last week to the farm.

We made a day trip to the zoo with Brooks and Ellie. It was the perfect weather and such a fun day. How fun to experience the zoo through the eyes of 2 (and almost 2) year-olds! We have definitely gotten our money's worth out of our membership there. The HUGE male gorilla came up close and gave us quite a show by rolling around, yawning (yikes - those teeth!), and stretching just on the other side of the glass from us. Hannah was constantly labeling the Mommies, Daddies, and Babies of each animal. Also a hit was the ride on the zoo tram (aka choo choo).




Last week we went to one of our favorite annual events - Farm Days hosted at NCSU. All the spring baby animals are on display - baby chicks, bunnies, colts, calves, lambs, piglets, etc. And, free NCSU ice cream! Unfortunately, word has gotten out about this event and it was super packed. Hannah and I met up with Christy and her girls, Emily and Kate. So fun to see them! Not sure what Hannah enjoyed more - the farm or the picnic lunch at the playground with Emily and Kate!
Hannah saying "Cuuuute!" She loved the baby chicks.
