Que que na-to-ra

My cousin Jami and I took our girls to the zoo on Monday. We couldnt have picked a better day. We had rain and cooler weather this past weekend so we thought before we hit 90's again we would zoo it up. I was surprised that there wasnt more people there. Althought Im really glad they werent there. The night before at family dinner Jami and I discussed the next days adventure. All Presley could talk about that night on the way home was she wanted to go to the zoo and she wanted to Pet a Giraffe. It was definitely a successful trip. Because the weather was so wonderful we just took our time. We would stop and play at all the play areas and then we would go see another animal. Jami and I both said that if we didnt have other things scheduled for the day we would totally have stayed all day.

Presley and Grace have good and bad days. Im so happy this was a good day. The Peacock below seriously came so close to us. Grace was freaking out because she thought it was going to attack. Presley was too busy immitating the sounds it was making to even care how close it was. She loved the Peacock and kept asking to see it. Sher Khan!!! Presley is slightly obsessed with Jungle Book right now. I keep trying to explain to her that Sher Khan is not nice but she kept asking to hold Sher Khan and pet him. She loved it!
For only an arm and leg, you can feed the Giraffes! The girls loved this the most. I was not really happy with the photographers skills in capturing Presleys face. Imagine the biggest grin on this little girls face. She kept laughing hysterically. It was so cute.



Presley had her first run in with the movie Pocahontas on Tuesday. Shes obsessed. Luckily for me we dont have it on DVD or a VHS player. So we only watch it at Mimi's house. Tuesday night I was chanting Pocahontas throughout my dreams. Thanks to Grandmother Willow Que Que Na-to ra, you will understand is still in my head. Zach and I like to make up our own Lyrics for the song "Steady as the beating drum." We arent even close to the original words.
