Playdate at the Zoo

Yesterday we went to the zoo with the Oestreichs, so Bella could have a date with Logan. We had so much fun and the weather was perfect...70s...gotta love that Arizona weather...although Molly being pregnant not sure I would have walked around as much as we did! So here is Tim pushing the kids on their date.Looking at the Baboons.

Gabby just loved looking around
On daddy's shoulders looking at the lions.
"Raffes"
Me and the girls
So I had to throw this picture in to go with the funny story of the day. We had been at the zoo a couple of hours when we reached the orangutan exhibit. Bella told Joel she had to potty, and we said okay...so we pull out the map to find the closest bathroom...then we look down to see Bella with her pants around her ankles getting ready to squat! Apparently her fear of public bathrooms is the bathroom part not the public part! She didn't go...Joel quickly picked her up and headed to the food court....where she actually did go potty (he did bribe her with m&ms). She also went at the restaurant later that day...we were so proud (bribed her with chalk) she usually goes in and then screams "no potty" and then holds it for 7 hours...but not yesterday...I was proud and hope we are making progress.
Running through the zoo.
Brushing the goats.
Logan giving Bella some love at the elephants.
A few more...the other morning I came out to Bella doing Gabby's hair. She would "spray" her leave-in conditioner and the brush her hair.
So Gabby has given up for the time being regarding crawling on her knees. Now she just keeps sticking her butt in the air like she is doing yoga and moves around that way.
Playing outside in the sandbox...Gabby was a big fan of eating the sand.
Today Bella was all kisses while Gabby was on the floor.
How beautiful is she.

Hope everyone has a good week!
