The highlight of the weekend was Bailey's first trip to the zoo with Mommy, Khrissy, and Hunter. We stayed for over three hours and she had so much fun. We saw monkeys, elephants, and giraffes. We also rode the carousel - which Hunter loved but Bailey did not (see the facial expression).Above all, her favorite was the slide in the children's zoo. Although the age for the slide is 2 and up, she insisted that she was as old as Hunter and could do it just like him. She had a little trouble "sitting" down on the slide so sometimes she went backwards or on her tummy - which she thought was fabulous. It all worked out fine as long as Mommy was waiting to "catch" her at the bottom. However, one time she got stuck and as I went to help situate her, the older children waiting behind her decided to help (which really meant give a gentle push). Again she went down face first on her tummy. This time, however, Mommy wasn't at the bottom. Luckily, I managed to get to her right as she was hitting but her nose still hit the ground and managed to get all scratched up.
After lots of kisses and cookies, the tears dried up and she was ready to go again. We decided that was enough fun for the day and that it was time to leave and get lunch. We hadn't pulled out of the zoo parking lot when both her and Hunter were fast asleep. She had such a great time that Daddy and I are planning to take her again next Sunday if the weather is nice.
