Happy Spring Day
I took the day off today since it was a beautiful sunny 70 degree day. I really wanted a fun family day since Huz was out of town last weekend and because we needed to celebrate a few things, namely his successful dissertation proposal defense (he's now ABD! Way to go, babe. I'm so proud of you!) and Claire's 5 month birthday which was yesterday. We enjoyed the day by taking Claire to the zoo for the first time. It was splendid - she was an angel.First we tried on the sunglasses from her Grandmo to see if they fit yet. They don't.
She enjoyed most of the zoo from her stroller - napping on and off. (Mom, you can buy lots of cute jumpers like this one - she's adorable in them!)
We saw the elephants taking a mud bath.
And some cute-faced monkeys hanging out.
And a Bongo (that thing in the background).
She enjoyed a fist snack while we were there.
She napped on the way back home.
And when we got home, there was a lovely floral arrangement on our doorstep from my Mom. It's for Easter and for Claire's baptism which is tomorrow night.
All in all, I'd say it was a perfect day! |
