This was one of the best trips to the zoo I can remember since bringing Evan home. Evan was actually interested in seeing the animals. I am so glad the his awareness has increased so much. It was a joy to watch. Emma has always liked the zoo so she is definately a girl after her mother and fathers heart. We have loved going to zoos before the kids.
Below, see how big and how cute the kids have gotten. :)
Evan is not so happy on the carousel praying mantis. It took to almost the end for a smile.
What a lazy baby polar bear. Jody, this is the baby we saw when we went to the zoo. He is so much bigger now.
Getting ready to enter the land of the dinosaurs. If I could only read Evan's mind. Does he think that they are real?
The amazingly huge T-rex.
Just to give you a little perspective. These dinosaurs roared and moved a little. They were so very big and the kids loved seeing them. They were not afraid.
Daddy and his babies at the end of an awsome day! I am so glad we were able to spend this day together. Doug has been working six days a week since I lost my job to help so it just made the day extra special.
Yesterday was Emma's first day of level four gymnastics. She was soooooo excited! This is a before and after photo. The before picture is outside at the team only door, Mom's are allowed much to Emma's dismay. She will be asigned a locker and everything. The after picture is with her friends and fellow team mates Sara and Ashleigh. They couldn't stand still so in three attempts this was the clearest picture. Amazing since they had just had a three hour practice. It will be intersting to see how she is after her second practice today. Way to go Emma.
Girl's having fun. This is a few of the girls from Emma's adoption travel group. Mikayla is the second from the left. The others from the the left are Mia, Robin's friend Allison, Robin, Emma, Kate and her sister Julia. A good time was had by all.
Watch out Allison, here they come.
Emma and Evan with their cousin Josh in their Easter best.
