Zoo Tots

Our local zoo offers great classes for children. They start at birth and continue through school age. I took Audrey last year for the "Babes in the Zoo" classes and she loved them so I signed her up for "Zoo Tots" this year.

At our first class we got to meet Sarge-- the rat snake. At first Audrey said, "No touch,  no touch" but by the time he got around to us, she was all over it!

We then met and petted Millie the hen and Julius the rat. Yes, we petted them all!

After our "in class" time, we moved all the little ones out into the barnyard and let them explore. Audrey's friends, Jackson and Lyric, met us at the class and I think all three of them loved chasing the chickens all over the barnyard the best!

They didn't mind the giraffes too much either, though!

This last picture is of Audrey (and Jackson) riding a "giraffe" in the classroom. I am loving this smile she gives me when I tell her to "cheese"!

I have a million and one blog posts to catch up on since June. We found out  we were pregnant June 16th and the morning sickness started June 17th. Ha! Not really-- it may have been the 19th. It really knocked me under this time but around week 14, I started feeling like my old self again.  I plan to go back and add what I missed blogging about as soon as I can find a minute to sit down at my computer. The most important event was Audrey's second birthday! I definitely don't want to miss blogging about that!
