Memorial Day- 1st Zoo and 1st Swim

We had a marvelous Memorial Day.  On this beautiful day, we spent some quality time as a family.  We had been trying for about a month to go to the zoo, but cool, windy, and rainy weather had kept us from going.  However, this morning was sunny, warm, and calm.  We made it to the zoo around 8:45, and had the zoo all to ourselves.  The only other people there were the zoo keepers.   It was a great visit to the zoo.








Is it nap-time?

We decided to wait around for them to let the monkeys out, because what's a visit to the zoo without seeing the monkeys.  We had to wait for the moat around their enclosure to fill with water before they finally let them out.  But, it sure was fun to watch the monkey parade heading out for breakfast.


Later that evening, we went to Memaw and Datt's house for a cookout and Ella and Emma's 1st time in the pool.  The girls love their baths, so we were expecting them to have fun in the pool as well.  Ella, swimming with Daddy, enjoyed it almost instantly, splashing, smiling, and giggling.  Emma, swimming with Mommy, was a little more reserved.  She whimpered and clung to me until we switched girls.  Once she was with Daddy, Emma started splashing and smiling.  We didn't swim for too long, but the girls really had a good time.

Emma's not so sure about all this water


Emma decided it was kind of fun after all

These are just some other fun pictures.
We LOVE our bath!!
  As soon as Mommy turns on the water, we come crawling as fast as we can, pull up onto the step, and watch the water fill the tub.  We just can't wait to get in that water.

Modeling the new dresses Aunt Clora Ann sent us for our birthday.  Don't we look cute?!?
