Zoo Trip # Can't Count...

When it hasn't been crazy hot, we've taken Lily as much as we can to the zoo! Last year she was too young to appreciate the train, but this summer - oh boy - she would happily ride it over and over and over again if we let her. She loves the "lillas" (gorillas) and just about every animal there. It'll be nice now that all the kids are going back to school so it'll be a little less crowded! Here are a few pics from a recent trip.

In the petting zoo she spotted a peacock on the roof of the building!

Lilla!

She loved the Birds of Wonder show...

...and especially this little penguin.

New camera...same sweet subject!

Pop!

New camera time!! We've been anxious to get an additional camera instead of just our point-and-shoot and we finally found the one we want. There are so many times I've taken a picture and wanted that really good, close-up that I know would look great with a better lens.

Well, now we have it! I realize I'm no pro, but with a subject as cute as Lily, we've already taken a gazillion pics that I think have turned out great. :) I'll just have to refrain from posting every single one. I'm sure people don't need to see the same pose with 4 different angles!

Our daughter really does have hair (little wisps in the back!) It's now "long" enough that we've been sticking a single pig tail on the top of her head. It looks so cute and she'll wake up in the morning pointing to her head, wanting us to put in her "ponytail."

Even the flowers look better with the new camera!

Our Lily of the garden kind.

Walking over to Uncle Dave and Aunt Ray Ray's house.

Sitting on their extreme porch swing.

Crossing her legs.

She wanted the garage door "up!"

Lily believes that when it goes up, if she says repeatedly "up, up, up" and makes the motion with her hands that she is indeed responsible for making it go up.

And now back to the old camera. You still give us good pics as well! Lily using the very big spoon to eat her cereal. Amazingly, she was able to get her cereal on the spoon to eat a few.

Fuzzy but cute!

Graduation and Rehearsal Dinner Setting...

Hard to believe that Trevor graduated from high school and will be off to college this fall! Here are a few pictures from the Sycamore 2010 graduation and our dinner at Kenwood Country Club afterwards. We had our rehearsal dinner at Kenwood so it always brings us back to that awesome night and wedding the next day!
