Fun at the Zoo!

Laura called early on Friday morning and wanted to know if I could meet the Skinner family at the zoo. Of course, LeLe and I headed that way when she woke up around 9:30. She absolutely loves the zoo.

The zoo was such a great idea that everyone in Alabama also decided to go to the zoo. Luckily, we have a zoo pass, otherwise, I probably would have passed on this adventure. But, since Anne Reaves was so excited about seeing LeLe and showing her the animals, Aunt Katie had to stay. When we got inside, it wasn't as bad as the parking lot (or should I say entrance) looked. As soon as we got through the 800 people lined up outside, we were off to the carosel and petting zoo! LeLe rode the carosel with Laura and Lauren. I stood back with Matt Skinner and observed these crazy folks that had kids dressed in no clothes in 50 degree weather. LeLe got board of the carosel but luckily, Anne Reaves was there to entertain. Baby Saxon was just glad to be with Lauren. After the carosel, we made our way to the petting part where Anne Reaves and LeLe petted the goats. Saxon didn't care to much about them but definitely knew every kind of noise each animal made. I have to say it was one of the few times that the lion let out a huge ROAR! I guess he had enough folks there to perform.

Afterwards, we made it over to Homewood to eat at Zoe's and then headed home for a nap before our swimming lesson on Friday night. LeLe is getting more comfortable in the water but I would necessarily call her a swimmer just yet.

Happy Friday!
