Zootastic Weekend!

Cailin had a blast this weekend at the Houston Zoo. Although traffic getting there was a headache, to say the least, once we got there, we had a good time. It was hard to get her to focus on the animals though, mostly because she got distracted by the pretty leaves and plants or the people walking by. She did get to see the tiger swim by and she thought the llamas and the giant pig were pretty funny though. She had the most fun at the petting zoo where she got to pet some goats!

We couldn't get her to look at the giraffe even though it was walking right by us, instead she focused on the bushes right in front of us.

You can tell who took the pictures most of the time...

Oh no, we're in the cage!

Cailin did get a fantastic white lion stuffed animal which she kept a death grip on all the way home. I think she's found her new favorite toy for a while.

Cailin was also really excited to see her BFF again last week! Her and Magnolia had a lot of fun playing together again during a rare playdate. Ahh, just like the good ol' days. We all went out to lunch where they babbled back and forth at each other. I think they were plotting something, we're just not sure what yet. Apparently a yellow ball was the coveted toy of the day but Magnolia showed Cailin all the great new toys she has. Cailin showed her all the skills she's picked up at daycare and how to quickly take a toy away from someone before they've even noticed.

Cailin was also really happy to see Mindy again. I think she decided Mindy was her favorite person of the day and occupied her lap most of the time, even choosing her over Mama. After a while, I think Magnolia started to get a little jealous and either wanted Cailin or her mommy all to herself.
