Monkey see. Monkey do.

Meme & Tristan

Three Amigos.

The Hippos put on the best show of the day.
The four of them were very active and fun to watch!

Going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo

We took advantage of the great spring weather and the kids being out of school for election day to head to St. Louis for an overnight in a hotel and then spend the day at the zoo. Meme, Ethan and Tristan joined us. We had a great day!!

Coee loved swimming in the hotel pool, although it was pretty cold. Then, there were lots of things for her to love at the zoo!!:

She loved being with her brothers and cousins.

She loved the monkeys. (all four pictured)

She especially loved the carousel. She just got this heavenly smile on her face and it stayed during the whole ride.

She loved petting the goats.

I believe her favorite was the splash park!!

First Camping Trip

Coee had her first camping experience this past weekend. We had planned on going up to the lake to celebrate my Dad's birthday with everyone and then come home, but we decided around noon to spend the night. We rushed around in a frenzy and packed everything for it and headed to the lake. It was great weather for her first camping outing and we had a great time!!

Coee's first morning of camping included Granddaddy Mike delivering breakfast-in-bed/tent: powdered donuts and bananas. What's not to like?!

On Saturday night, we had a huge gathering around an awesome campfire. My Uncle Will even brought his guitar and sang a long and varied list of requests. Coee LOVES music and LOVED "helping" Great Uncle Will play. He even let her hold a collection of pics!

This is Coee getting her first look at this thing called a tent. "We're sleeping in here?"

"I'm not so sure, but I'm just going to go with you on this...."
