Kansas City Zoo

What a lovely day for the zoo.  The temps were in the high 60's and the sun was out.  We woke early and headed out for the girls FIRST trip to the zoo.  We arrived in time to watch the sea lion show.  Then we headed out to Africa to see all the great animals.  We didn't realize just how large the Kansas City Zoo is until we walked around for 4 hours and still had not seen all of it.  Good thing we had our walking shoes on and the stroller!  The girls were completely beat and slept most of the way home.  It was a lovely day and a great memory that we shall have forever.





Jillian on her first carousel ride.  She loved it.  Of course she did.  She is the most daring child I have ever been around!


Katelyn wasn't so sure about the carousel.  As soon as it started going, she wanted OFF.  So Jason held her while the ride kept going.


Jason and his little ladies!







This monkey was making the funniest noises.  Every time he yelled out, Jillian busted out laughing.  "Silly Monkey!"























Jillian was out cold.  Katelyn was trying to snuggle with her.  Adorable moment.  Fantastic memories!







Happy Hour, Sonic that is!

The girls finally had their first slush from Sonic.  It's a hit!

Yep, that's the sugar bringing out the silly in Katelyn.



Yum YUM!  Jillian said, "Mommy this is nummy"!  They even obeyed my rule to stay on the wood floor with their slush.  Thank goodness because spillage was soon to follow.




The lovely leaves of Fall

Our trees in front of our house have finally dropped their leaves.  This means great photos, and lots of raking!







The girls are raking!  Now if I can only teach them to do laundry and dishes!
