Memorial Day Weekend and Trip to the Zoo

We have been enjoying our busy life, but we had a nice relaxing Memorial Day weekend.  My sister and her family went out of town so we were dog-sitting and got to use their pool.  Avery loves the water and had a ball.  Josh was the photographer during this time so excuse the pics.  I tried him to get in the water with the camera, but he was too worried that he would drop it.  We also decide on Monday morning of Memorial Day to packup and go to the Zoo.  It was so much fun.  Here are a few pics of the weekend. 

My sis's pool has a little sunning deck with umbrella in it.  So nice for fair skin babies. Her bathing suit was from her Grandma.  It was really cute on her. 

She loved the fountains. 

And she loved getting in and out of the pool.  

Checking out the birds very intensely.  She loved all the birds.  She said "Oh, Oh" and pointed to everything.

Getting a little hot outside but she was a trooper.

Checking out the goats in the petting zoo.

"Mommy, why is this girl sitting on the goat and where is her mom?"  Seriously, the mom just said (very nonchalantly) "Honey, that goat probably doesn't want you sitting on him."

Enjoyed the carousel ride which was a good distraction from the Cherry Icee that she wanted more and more of.  

Ok, so I said "Josh, get Avery and I with the Cheetah behind us."  Hmmm...the cheetah must really be behind us.  

Avery loved Giraffes.  If you look closely, one was bathing the others mane.

Bye Bye Giraffe!

Josh followed all the kids into the tube behind the fish tank.  Good thing Avery has a Daddy that is a kid at heart.

Pink cheeks. We are ready to go!
