Friday was Papaw's birthday so we got to spend the day with him. He took the day off and went to the zoo. The zoo wasn't really Papaw's idea, but we were going to REI after the zoo so it made it worth it... and Ireland really wanted to go to the zoo so it really wasn't up for discussion... Papaw is kind of wrapped around Ireland's little finger! :)
So here are the pictures of the day... Chloe did pretty good... acutally she did really good. A lot better than she has in the past... so that was really good!
We decided to rent a wagon at the zoo this time. The girls really loved it. It was the first time we had rented one and they now think that we will get one every time we go to the zoo... funny kids!
This is how Chloe started the day. Most of you probably remember the hippo incedent from this summer... she hasn't been the same at the zoo since that fateful day. But the hands over the ears only lasted a little while. She was really brave and actually looked at most of the animals! Good job for her. She said she was brave now because she is a 3 year old :)

Ireland had a blast as usual! She loved every part of the zoo... but what else is new!
We rode the train that goes around the zoo. This was another first. Chloe actually liked it. And of course Ireland did too.
Chloe was very curious about every part of the train.
Besides Papaw being silly in the background, I thought this was a cute picture! :) Ireland was so happy to be riding with Nana!
Ireland said that Papaw needed to ride the carousel because it was his birthday... and of course he did... and so did Nana... like I said, wrapped around her little finger! :)
Ireland said that this was her favorite part of the zoo... she loves the carousel!
Chloe usually doesn't like it. She won't even get on an animal by herself. But she did great this time! She wasn't scared (much) at all this time! And she didn't cry one little bit! She actually liked it and wanted to do it again! This made Nana very happy because she was begining to worry about how Chloe would be at Disney World in October. But this put her mind at ease... Chloe is finally getting over the hippo trauma! YEA!!!!
See... she really did like it! :)
All in all it was a really good day! And I think Papaw had a good birthday... of course he wished his other grandkids were there too... :)

We wish we were there too. Looks like a fun day...I like Chloe's butterfuly jacket by the way! ;o) Easter eggs looked like fun too, Camdyn did them last night with Debi and Terry!
I am so proud of Chloe. Tell her I said she did really good. Looks like a fun day for Papaw at the Zoo too.
so glad to hear that she is finally getting over the hippo! love the picture of your parents with the girls!
Your zoo pics are so cute! Your girls are just getting so big and are, of course, so adorable!
