the week in va

As I mentioned in the below posts, we had a great week in VA with my family. I babysat two of my nieces from Saturday morning until Friday morning!

Friday afternoon we picked up Anna from her half-day summer camp and headed out to the Reston Petting Zoo. As kids we would pass the Reston Zoo everyday on our way to school but I never had been. I had remembered it while I was up in VA but knew there was no way that I could manage a 9 month old and a fast 3 1/2 year old by myself...so we waited for Friday morning when everyone could join us. Here are some pictures.

this picture cracks me up...Bella was freaked out in the "goat house", there were so many goats and they were all on her level with only a short fence that separated her from them.

Chloe and Teresa came to the zoo with us too! She is so cute with her big blue eyes!

Feeding the sheep!

The zoo had a tractor ride out to the field where all the big animals were. They flocked to the tractor and loved being pet by all the visitors! Anna loved it!!

What a fun family outing! Chloe is getting big isn't she! I haven't seen picture of her in awhile. I'm sure the petting zoo was really perfect for Anna. Christian loved the petting part of the zoo when we were in Baltimore.

Looks like so much fun. I cant wait until Kaylee is older and can enjoy the zoo. Glad ya'll had such a great week spending time with family.

We've been there - it is SO fun, but the goats can be a bit much, right? :) Hilarious - the things that you realize when you have little ones with you - seeing things at their level is a whole different experience!
