Our Week: A trip to the zoo

We've had a wonderful week!  We've enjoyed the beautiful weather and are spending more and more time outside.  We took advantage of the last $1 day at the zoo and took a trip there monday.  Katie loved, loved, loved being able to walk around and see all the animals.


 We went to the petting zoo and as soon as Katie saw the sheep and goats she started saying "Baaaa!"  The goats were incredibly gentle and laid there the whole time that Katie was going around petting on them.









This little howler monkey was very curious about Katie....Katie didn't share his interest lol!


We think the thing she enjoyed most was being able to run around on her own. 


We got to see the sea lion trainer working with the sea lions in the new exhibit they've made for the sea lions.


Katie and I slid down the slide at the playground.




We started planting this week and this included pansies in the front yard and some mint in pots in the backyard.  Katie loved helping dig in the dirt...and eating dirt lol!


Here's Ms. Blueberry showing me the dirt that she's been snacking on.


We've been talking about oceans this week (that's the theme for this week's storytime).  Katie made a seashell discovery bottle and a blue discovery bottle.  She spent about a half hour putting all the little pieces in the bottle and putting the cap on and off the bottle.




Katie got to paint again this week.  She used a brush and her fingers and painted a fish...and herself.



Katie was the greeter at storytime this week.  We were the first people there...Katie went up to every single person that walked in the door waving and saying "hi", "hi" until they said hi back to her.  She doesn't have a shy bone in her body!


We've gone on several walks this week...instead of riding in the stroller the whole time we let Katie get out and walk around with us. 


And here's our little puppy...4 1/2 weeks old.  We need a name for this girl!  Any suggestions?
