Our trip to the zoo

I don't know if many of you remember our horrible (okay, maybe not so horrible because we were accompanied by good friends) zoo trip last year in Chicago. It was literally like 100* and you would think us Floridians would be used to it by now. It was SO incredibly hot & just stupid- the dumb boys wanted to go to the zoo while us girls wanted to hit up a water park..obviously the boys won & never again will they.

So today we decided to try the zoo again. It was in the mid 70s so it was perfect to be outside.

Minus the fact that Rylee must have came in contact with a stomach bug. She woke up and her crib, her & everything else was covered in chunks of puke. I even had a picture to show you guys (ha ha) but decided to spare you the grossness. I fed her milk and she threw all of that up so that's when I decided to call the pedi & he told me just to get her on the B.R.A.T diet & see how it goes. She went down for a 2 hour nap and woke up fine. On the way to the zoo she decides to throw up again. Luckily I had a change of clothes for her (normally I forget.)

We ended up buying a annual pass because it just made sense. We obviously can't stay at the zoo all day long when we go because Rylee would be a disaster. So now Rylee & I can go and take a guest free! They actually ended up giving us 2 additional passes good until March because a lot of their stuff was closed today for some reason. Score! And during the month of September they have a program where we can get into MOSI & The Aquarium for free, too! I'm excited! 

Anyways..

 She loved the carousel!

And please don't tell this child what to do. 

She thinks she rules the world. 

This is reason #20920932 while my crackberry is about to hit the sack.

She started getting super cranky and 

we found this water spot so we let her play &

I totally forgot her bathing suit AND water shoes! 

What kind of mama am I?!

She's going to be my water baby!

Then we fed the goats! She loved it! 

They licked her hand all over & she just sat there..ha ha. 

I think she's used to all the licking that Diesel does. 

(and yes, we definitely sanitized after!)  :)
