Let's go to the zoo

Going on two hours less sleep than normal Annabelle was a bit of a pill. Look out friends, family, strangers, and animals! She was snapping at everyone and on the verge of meltdown most of the morning. This girl needs her sleep! We met up with the Carlson crew at the zoo and the big kids ran around and used up what little energy Annabelle had left. They seemed to have the most fun eating snacks, chasing each other, and splashing in the puddles.

"Look GG, animals!"

Jack and Annabelle have learned to say each others names so well. Annabelle saw her bud and started screaming "Hi Jack, Hi Jack" and waving.

Gwyneth was so sweet - she loved the crowd and spent most of her day standing on a bench waving and saying "hi" to people as they walked by.

Sweet little Ben. He's getting so big!

I can't believe he's almost 5 months old already.

Jack found the snacks!

This photo is a little blurry but you just can't beat that look of joy on Annabelle's face. She really got a kick out of Jack splashing in the puddles.

Here we go!

We had such a nice morning with the Carlsons and it was just what Annabelle and Gwyneth needed. Both girls really enjoyed the outing and were sound asleep in the car before we even left the parking lot. We were even able to transfer them from the car seats to the beds and they slept another 3 hours! Excellent naps today and we're hoping for happy, happy girls this afternoon.
