zoo time

Tuesday, since I was off I decided to take Mya to the Turtle Back Zoo. We took her for the first time in May and it was the PERFECT size!!!! Not too big (like the Bronx Zoo) and not too small (like Johnson Park). It was really nice out in the morning too and I figured it'd be empty since it was a Tuesday. We got there at 10:15 (it opens at 10, PERFECT) and I noticed all these buses dropping off camps, GREAT!!!! Well, it just so happened that we started off going in opposite directions, so it worked out PERFECTLY!!!!!

Now, doesn't she look SO happy to be here!!!!!!! HAHA, this is how she is when I put her in the stroller. The child wants to be free!!!

The first animals are the penguins, PERFECT, her FAVORITE!!!!! NO KIDDING, we stood here for at least 15 minutes. I swear she was just standing there starring and making all these happy noises, it was so funny! Every time I said, ok, lets go see the prairie dogs she'd shake her head no!!!! She is all about shaking her head for yes and no now!

Aren't they SO cute!

OK, off to the prairie dogs. Isn't it crazy how much they grow in just 3 months!!! This is from Tuesday.

And this is from May 1st!

Now to see the bear, which was hiding. Mya was lookin though, with her snack and all!

Than off she ran!

To grab the whole bag of them!

SLOW DOWN MYA!!!!!

See, I told you to slow down. The funniest part is that she didn't let go of the bag or her puffer the entire time!!!! LOVES her food!!

Than to the bird sanctuary. It was nearly impossible to get a good pic of this cause she was sitting on my knee. But she was LOVING the birdies. They're SO pretty!

Than to the chickens. I wish I'd had my video camera cause she was dancing to the sounds that the chickens were making, it was hysterical!!!!

Staring contest?????

Than a little boy and girl came along. She got all excited!

So they were all checking out the chicken together. Or the other kids were just watching her dance thinking what a NUT she is!!!!!!

My favorite!

And we save the best for last, the train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had her in my lap at first but she wanted to sit on the bench herself.

And that was our fun filled Tuesday. It was so fun being home with her and spending some QT mom and Mya time. I miss that so much so when I do get the chance to spend alone time with her for an entire day, I make the most of it and don't take any second for granted. She's growing so fast before our eyes and I love taking every second of it in. I can't believe how much I truly love this girl, everything she does just amazes me! Being a mother is the greatest gift of all. I love you peanut and even though you won't remember these days, I'll have stories upon stories and pictures upon millions of pictures to let you know how fun every second has been!!!!!
