our day at the zoo!

 today this little family went on an adventure to the kansas city zoo!  it was our first time going and we all had such a good time.  together we walked around checking out all of the amazing animals while listening to the birdies sing in the trees tops.  we especially enjoyed seeing the lions, kangaroos, and silly monkeys, but our favorite thing to see {by far} in person was the family of elephants.  they were stunning to watch up close and these photos don't give their beauty justice.  every time stella saw an animal she whispered to us, "puppa...puppa"  that right there is reason enough for us to go back.  what a precious little darling she is.  to our surprise, she stayed awake the whole time cruising on right through her usual nap time.  as if we couldn't have planned it better, she fell asleep just as we passed through the exit.  tired and hot, we all headed back home for a family nap and jumped at the chance to crawl back into our pj's.  what a wonderful day!  we hope you are having a good weekend, too!
