Thank you Spring....you are my favorite time of year. I'll take sneezing my head off and red, itchy eyes over rain and snow any day!

The Zoo......for the first time ever and it was AWESOME!

We loaded up the wagon with a picnic lunch, and off we went. Exploring every single square foot.

We stopped to rest and eat some lunch

for a bit and then went back to exploring.

I learned that you're just not that into lizards

It was getting warmer and the Mommies thought it might be fun to get some ice cream....vanilla peach for Mommy, strawberry for you. Ya'll were sittin in your wagon, lickin away.....minding your own business, when Mommy drove you right off the curb. Your strawberry ice cream cup went flying in slow motion and landed upside down on the asphalt. You were so upset. Mommy was embarrassed and the crowd was laughing at your sweet pouty face. I marched right back in the ice cream shop and got a strawberry waffle cone (free of charge) and all was right with the world.

There's really nothing better than sitting in a wagon, getting chauffeured around, while licking an ice cream cone....is there?

Seriously, have you ever seen anything as close to a dinosaur in this lifetime as a rhino??
God is so majestic!

The day was almost over and our adventure was coming to a close.....but we had time for one more snack...huh, Grayson??

Yes, my dear...those yummy treats are for the birds....not for Grayson's.

Thank you Nana and Pawpaw for our new big boy bed! We've slept in it for 4 nights now....perfectly. One of these days I will take down the tacky "black out blanket" and center the mirror......and paint the dresser....and paint the book shelf....and attach the headboard and footboard.....the list goes on and on.
