A is for Animals

Dear Grace,
Last Friday we went to the FREE petting zoo at Scheerings Farms in Highland, IN with Ms. Julie and Ellie. On Monday we went to Brookfield Zoo with the Buckley girls to celebrate Cayla's 3rd birthday. It has been pretty easy coming up with "A" activities and trips during the month of September. With very little effort we have stumbled across several things around the house and while we have been out and about that start with A. Enjoy!
Love, Mommy 
A is for Animals.
Action shot of you feeding the donkeys. Your face is priceless!
Two girlfriends hanging out.
You and Ellie weren't very excited about the pumpkin photo opp. I handed you the pumpkin and you literally put it down and signed "all done." :) 
After giving you a couple options you picked out the perfect pumpkin to take home. It's all about giving you choices (aka ownership) at this age.
You girls wanted to feed the animals one more time before we left.

All three girls already entertained before we even entered the zoo.
What better way to start the day at the zoo than with a carousel ride. It wasn't easy taking this picture with my phone.
The birthday girl checked in on you all day. "How's Grace? What is Grace doing? I think Grace wants to too." You've recently started holding hands with other kids and hugging them goodbye. What an adorable stage.

What  a different experience going to the zoo during the week than on the weekends. It felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. This snow lion kept making hot laps right in front of you kiddos. 
Oooooo...look at the dolphins. 
Happy 3rd birthday, Cayla. Thanks for inviting us to a fun day at the zoo to celebrate you.
