Berkley's Second Trip to the Zoo!

Since we have a membership to the Hogle Zoo we decided to go to the zoo again! This time we went with my mom and my 3 youngest brothers, Austin, Garrett, and Paxton. It was so much fun! The animals were super interactive and it was great!


All ready to go, wearing her cheetah print shorts!



Berkley with Uncle Austin!

The lion tried to eat Berkley cause she's so dang good lookin!


Looking at the tiny, orange monkeys (my personal favorite) with grandma!


This monkey was friendly and liked hanging out by Berkley!


This one did too!


This owl was BEAUTIFUL! They let us get fairly close but you can't touch it!


The vulture was showing off for Berkley!


Look at that wing span!


The elephants! The baby elephant peed while we were watching! It was pretty funny!


The giraffes! SO TALL!


The tiger on the prowl!


Paxton and Berkley riding in the stroller! So cute together!


Berkley was exhausted by the time we made it to the gorillas!


"What are YOU looking at?!"


Berkley asleep in her stroller and her uncles falling asleep right along with her!


This little one LOVED Berkley to death! He sat there and played with her through the glass for a super long time! Berkley loved it too! You can tell that she's grinning because of the dimple showing on the side of her face!


The goofiest looking tortoise we've ever seen!

A Fun Day at Lagoon!

We went to Lagoon on August 1st with my family. It was Berkley's very first time (outside of the womb anyways) and she had a blast!


Ready for a day of fun!



Just outside the gate with grandma!

Our happy little family!


Aaron and I started by going on the bumper cars. Aaron jammed his toe into the pedal and bruised it pretty badly. I think it's still a little bruised actually!


Here's a close-up of his toe. It actually looked worse in the days to follow!


Me with my princess!


Aaron and I!


One of my favorite rides at Lagoon is the Tilt-a-Whirl! They actually let us take Berkley on it too so it was Berkley's very first Lagoon ride and she actually liked it!


All ready to twirl!





My mom took some pictures of us mid-ride! You can barely see Berkley but she's definitely there!


All done! Not one tear shed!


Berkley's second ride was the Baby Boats! She went in a boat with my little brother, Paxton!






This is my favorite picture from this ride! So precious!


Paxton loved showing everything to Berkley!


All done and she LOVED it! Notice how everyone is staring at her! Yeah, she's pretty much freakin adorable!


Hanging out in the stroller, playing with her feet!


Taking a break!


Such a big girl!


Waiting in line for the carousel!


Daddy and Berkley on their horsey!


Hold on!


"What's going on, mom?! This thing moves!"


"Okay, I love this!"


"I like those pointy things on the side of the head on this thing!"


She passed out pretty soon after the carousel! She was exhausted!


While she was sleeping, her Uncle Austin won this cute little penguin for her! So sweet!


After her nap, grandpa won this cute little piggy for her! What a spoiled girl!


Watching the train while waiting for our turn!


Uncles Paxton and Garrett!


Hanging out with grandma, grandpa, and Austin before the train started going!


Inside the dark tunnel!


Looking at the duckies!


There's the ostrich! Most of the animals were being lazy cause it was hot! It was still fun to ride the train and look at all of them though!


Aaron LOVES to play this game when we go to Lagoon! He always wins something! This time it was a medium prize, not too shabby!


He picked a flag!


Berkley had to stop for some food!


Grandma loves to feed her!


Aaron and Austin went on the catapult...TWICE! Crazy boys! They LOVED it too!


Picking her nose?!



We wore Berkley out pretty badly by the end of the day! It was a lot of fun though!
