Zoo Trip

Last Friday, I took Gretchen to the zoo to meet with my friend Christi, and her son, Drew. We've made this an annual trip for the last 3 years and always have so much fun catching up with each other! It's also been fun to look back at how much they've changed since our first trip in 2008. Gretchen and Drew shared the wagon. They did very well, unless Gretchen decided to not keep her hands to herself! Then, they would walk or take turns.

Gretchen is 9 hands high! We tried to get Drew to stand with her, but she was too touchy for him!

We took their picture last year by the elephants. This year, Gretchen screamed because of these huge things behind her. Drew didn't seem to mind though.

This was the first year that we took their swimsuits and let them play in the sprinkler/water area at the zoo. Gretchen loved running through it, and crashed into other kids a few times.

Drew enjoyed watching the water disappear and squirt up again. I love this picture of him!

Drew was so calm and quiet, and Gretchen just ran and screamed!

We had such a great trip with them, and we're looking forward to a trip in the fall with them, and another annual trip next spring to the zoo!
