What Could Be Better?...

Sydney was so excited...she could
'bear'ly contain it...haha!

Sydney's Nana from Montana came for a recent visit.  This meant a lot of fun catching up with Sydney, and she proudly showed off her many talents.  Since Donna saw her previously, Sydney's speech, humor, and general personality has blossomed even more (even though that's hard to imagine).

So, what could be better than spending time with Nana?...a trip to the zoo with her Nana.  We took a quick jaunt down to the Woodland Park Zoo to look at the lions, bears, tigers, elephants, birds of prey, and other wild creatures.  It was a little busy because of Memorial Day Weekend, but it was still a great time. 

Ever have that feeling of being
watched by a prehistoric animal?


Strangely, we had many people approaching us, pointing at Sydney, and asking 'what species is that?'  I told them we were unsure, but that she certainly was not tame, and not to feed her.  We fed her once and haven't been able to get rid of her since.  On a similar note, I did tell Sydney that if she saw anything big and hairy not to call out and say 'hi uncle'...haha, I'm only kidding, or am I?

Sydney was fascinated with many of the animals, but in contrast to previous trips to the zoo she could actually name most of the animals that she saw.  And to take advantage of the situation, I thought it would be fun to take some comparison pictures to show how much she's grown in the past year or so.  Probably to their own delight, Karen and Donna do not look any different than the year before.

We have many other fun pictures to share from Nana's visit, including Sydney's first hair cut and Sydney sporting some new attire, but that will have to wait until our next post :)



Does the elephant have any junk
in his trunk?  I don't know...

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
