the zoo

Two days before we left for a "workation" in Arizona, we had these two beautiful little girls...

And a bright, sunny, warm(er) day! So we went to the zoo...

...which wasn't crowded at all! Natalie walked almost the entire two hours we were there and she LOVED it!!!!!

Off to see the ducks and flamingos following the dolphin show, which they both loved! Sammi clapped and cheered even when no one else was cheering! It was adorable.

Hello, llama!

...Almost 11 hands tall!

...and Natalie just wanted to walk, walk, walk! Any time we tried to get her to stop walking for a photo she would cry!

...Just one elephant out today. (Okay, it's not that warm yet!)

Finally, a shoulder ride...but only for about 20 seconds before she wanted down again!

She even pushed Sammi around in the stroller by herself! Oh, too funny.

Ah, yes! The shark tank, full of sharks to touch!

Sammi liked playing the water but the sharks scared her a little.

Natalie was not scared at all and loved reaching for them!


Such a cool way to see the seals whip around and swim right past us!

We had such a fun time seeing the zoo, which seemed like it was opened just for us on this particular day. After the zoo we had a picnic outside - the perfect way to spend our last day with the girls before leaving them with Grandma and Grandpa Brand for our workation!

Sammi has been growing fast! Here is a photo of her at the zoo with our friend Megan in August 2009 and then the photo from last week! She's grown about 1 hand! :)
