Zoo Trip

Today was a crisp and cool day, but off we went for our first trip to the zoo this year. It was Ashton's first time and Neela hadn't been since this past summer. We met our good friends Molly, Eddie and Charlotte there.

Here are the kids all bundled up and ready to go. Eddie's hat got left at home by mistake so good thing Neela had an extra one she could share! I am sure Eddie won't appreciate these pics when he gets older, but he looked cute today.



Charlotte, Eddie and Neela looking at the elephants. As usual Neela spent a good majority of the time with her hands over her ears while she watched these big guys move around. She is a bit afraid of their trumpeting, but they didn't make a peep today.


The zoo's latest addition, a new baby giraffe. She was born on December 5th and we were very lucky to catch a glimpse of her today.


Ashton all bundled up


Eddie steadying Neela on the ledge. They are best pals.




The two buds checking out the turtle. We spent a bit of time following this old guy around.

Cheese!






"Hello..Eddie?" ...."Yes Neela I'm right here"! haha.
