We're going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo

We went to Roger Williams Zoo today. It was a perfect zoo day; not too hot or too cold. It was also Ethan's first trip to the zoo. They have a butterfly exhibit right now that was really cool.

On the way to the Flutterby exhibit.

The butterfly exhibit was in a big greenhouse. Emma was a little scared at first. It is a little overwhelming, there were butterflies everywhere. I wasn't really used to butterflies flying so close and right by my head but it was pretty cool. Here are some of the butterflies that stayed still long enough for me.

You can see how into it Emma was at first.

By the end she was much better.

Back in the zoo we stopped to see the Harbor Seals. They were swimming all around.

When we were on our way home Emma said that the giraffes were her favorite so I am glad I took this shot.

Checking out the Elephants

...and the penguins.

Onto the Flamingos

Josh wanted to go under the mister in the worst way. Emma wanted no part of that. Poor Josh, he is always hot.

Everyone that comes to the zoo needs to get their picture on the dog.

Happy Boy

Later on today we took Bailey to the vet for her check up. She was fantastic. I was so surprised that she is down to 84 pounds. I really can't believe it . She was 96 or so at her highest weight. She has been looking pretty good lately so I am proud of how well she is doing. She is now up to date on all of her shots and all that fun stuff. After she got off the table she ran over to check out Ethan in his carseat. She really is a good dog.

Bailey was rewarded with a new collar from Allie's Tack Shop today. She looks so nice and I threw out her ratty old one. It was so nasty!

All in all we had a great day today. The best part is Josh has tomorrow off too so the fun can continue. I think he will join us for ballet tomorrow. Emma can't wait!
