Full Friday!

Friday morning we headed off to Hogle Zoo. We had been wanting to take Coop for a while and decided now was as good a time as any. To be quite honest, we had a great time, but Coop wasn't as into it as we thought he would be. I guess he is still a little young for the zoo.

On the Merry-Go-Round





This was seriously Coop's FAVORITE part of the zoo. He was mesmerized by the birds.




On the Train



A few of my neighbors that don't have family around to watch kids decided to start a babysitting group. Last night was the first night and we were the designated babysitters. We were all outside playing and Brad took this cute picture of a few of the kids. Poor Elli wasn't feeling very well. She's behind them on the chair.

Cute pictures. Good for you for starting a babysitting co-op, it's the best thing you will ever do! We LOVE ours! We actually even love it when it's our turn to tend, the longer we keep it going, the better friends the kids are (and the older they get), and it gets even easier! Fun for you!

That's a great idea for the babysitting co-op. I wish I could get into something like that around here.

The first time we took Henry to the zoo, he wasn't as excited as we thought he should be either. It is still fun, but just not what you imagined!

The zoo looks so fun. I need to take my kids sometime, it's just too hot for me to get excited about it. I love the picture of Cooper sitting in the gorilla statue!

Hey! We were at Hogle Zoo on Saturday! We were so close to seeing each other in person! My favorite thing about Hogle Zoo...the mists of water through out the park. We left by noon and it was already toasty. You guys did way more fun things like the carousel and the train. I am with you though, way more fun when they are older...and maybe in October!

Cute pictures! The zoo seems like the perfect place to take kids. The babysitting group sounds like a great idea, especially when you get your night over with:)
