Zoo Trip!

This past week we took a trip to the zoo. I won't bore you with all the animal pictures- you can go to your own zoo if you want to see them. But I will show you some great pictures of the family. At the begining of the trip we noticed a big fan that was blowing a mist. We thought it was pretty cool (haha, so punny!) and went to cool down. Emmaline though, was afraid of the fan and the air and the water. So she kept clinging to her daddy. Thats when I got this precious picture! Heading toward the butterfly house we got this cute picture. By the way, she is afraid of crowds too...thats why the cuddle. At the butterfly house there is this big cool looking beatle that is there for kids to play on. We had a friendly lady snap a family pic! The butterfly house was amazing. We have never seen so many purple and blue butterflies ever. Of course, if the butterflies came too close to Emmaline while flying, she got scared. We tried to get pictures but if we did they were only butterflies or blurry. Sorry. We went on a little nature path that was supposed to be for free butterflies and bees. Thats where we snapped this pic. Matt was awesome and held the camera out and actually got all of us! On to snack time: got a great picture of Matt and a video of me feeding Emmaline. (I kept pulling the fork away from her mouth as she went to take a bite and got her several times trying to reach for it. Too cute. But alas, the video is too long to post.) After snack time we went to see the elephants. Emmaline got the spot of honor: On the way out of the zoo we stopped for a photo op in a cave with a huge fish tank. The fish were gigantic and Emmaline was unimpressed. That was our zoo trip! Now for other pictures. This picture is of a dress that I just made for Emmaline. I saw a dress like this at a garage sale and fell in love with the style so decided to make one for myself. I thought it turned out really cute and only cost me three dollars and a few hours. This dress is so cool because as the child gets older it can actually turn into a shirt, putting pants on underneath. You can have your child wear it with a shirt under or not- totally up to you but both look really cute. So then I just wanted to compare some shots. These pictures are both of Emmaline looking at the camera from almost the same angle. One is of her about 8-10 months ago and the other is just the other day. Isn't it so weird how different she looks? But then at the same time, she looks exactly the same. Lastly: bathing suit pictures. Emmaline and her daddy went to the pool today (I had homework and a headache so I stayed home). I couldn't resist getting the cute shot of her walking out the door with that cute ring...It reminds me of something but I just can't think of what at the moment. Then one more funny picture: Emmaline is classic I tell ya.
