Zoo with my girl

With the big kids back in school,  Evs and I hit up the zoo, and had enjoyed the peacefulness.

First thing she wanted to do, hit the playground, and she had it all to herself. Coptor mom was a bit more at ease not hovering, and letting her play freely, knowing she wouldn't get bulldozed by the bigger kiddos.

We got to see the Penguins being fed! So neat!

We watched Goldie playing with her durable plastic block, in her pool, and we were thoroughly entertained. So fascinating watching this beautiful, strong animal have fun:)

No more riding side by side on the Carousel. It's time for solo riding on the zebra!

Evs got to pick out a special gift, to remember our 2015 summer at the zoo. She choose her favorite animal, and a piece of candy, that was eaten in a millisecond.

We ended our day there with Everlee waking and  running, thru this tall grass 

for at least 15 mins. At first I was annoyed, I was ready to go. It was getting close to nap time. But then it made me stop, realize how important the little things are, and how something so simple, was so important to our girl. Taking time to watch her play and explore the world thru her eyes, made me so thankful I can experience these moments with our daughter.
