Fun at the Zoo

Nevaeh FINALLY after about 2 weeks of asking got to go to the zoo today!! [And don't think for a second that 2 weeks, really she had to wait that long. We are at the zoo usually every week. So her going 2 weeks without is a good thing] BUT she got to take her grandpa for the very first time! And they had an absolute blast together. It was so much fun to watch her with him and show him all her favorite animals. But even better in her world was that Jeremiah was there too. [her very bestfriend] Nevaeh also was there with her Uncle and Grandma so it made for the best day ever in her little world. All her favorite people [daddy you were the only one missing!] and the animals. I really don't think it can get any better then that.

Makenna LOVED the Meerkats. She kept pointing at them and standing up in her seat wanting to keep getting better views of them. But the number one animal for both Nevaeh and Makenna are the hippos. They both love watching them and could stand there for hours just watching them swim around in their little pool. We didn't get to see them eat this time but it doesn't matter because we saw the hippos!!

Another HUGE accomplishment in Nevaeh land is she actually fed the giraffes today!!!! She wasn't scared she took her piece of lettuce and fed it. Then she even asked for more lettuce after it was all gone. And grandpa being the sucker for his granddaughters went and got Nevaeh more lettuce. So proud of her. Yay Vaeh Baby!!

My parents and brother left tonight, so its very quiet around here. We all miss them already and cannot wait to be in Michigan next month. We are counting the days for sure. The big thing we will be doing as far as activities for the girls is hitting up the beach. It will be both of the girls very first times going to the beach to swim and play. [since there aren't really beaches here in Colorado]; what a huge thing for them. I have no doubt that they are both going to love it. Once again another thing we wish daddy was here for. WAF/Daddy we love you so very much.

What a fantastic weekend with family and friends. It really doesn't get any better. William Alfred you are included in this because we all got to see you on skype. :) I love how lucky I am to have the greatest family and friends. They really know how to make life great for us. Thank you to all of you, we really appreciate everything you do for the 4 of us. (Jessica Ellis I want you know that you are really being thought of right here. Even though you are half way across the country we think about you all the time and consider you in our close circle of friends. We love you and your boys!!!) (Samantha you know you are apart of this...gosh October is coming here way too fast :/ ) Mom, Dad, Nicholas, thank you for spending time with us we had so much fun and you make the days go by so much faster when you are here. The girls really needed the time with you and I really think it helped them a lot. LOVE YOU ALL!
