Friends, Hot Dogs and Bears

Today we had a really fun day being out and about. Our friends Brooke, Matt and Adah came to visit and spend the evening with us last night. Molly is only a month and half older than Adah, but look how much bigger she is than her. I must admit that Adah was born 5 1/2 weeks premature and was only 4' 13", but still, Molly is a tank! After they left we headed out to the local zoo for the "Beary Happy Birthday Party" We got there a little late, so we missed quite a few of the fun activities, but it was fun to go and see the animals just the same. Lilly kept asking to go and see the monkeys and the crocodiles. When I told her that there wasn't any of those animals she switched tracks and asked to ride on the train. She was again disappointed to find out that this zoo didn't have any of those things. I thought it was kind of funny to hear what she associates with a zoo. Maybe for her birthday we'll take her to the Hogle Zoo in Utah. I think she would enjoy that again. After spending quite sometime at the zoo, we headed down to old town. We noticed earlier that a gas station was having a re-opening and they had free hamburgers and hot dogs. So we stopped and got our free lunch and sat on the curb to eat. While we sat there some people from the gas station came over and gave Lilly the Sinclair Dinosaur that they had. She was so excited and immediately took a liking to her new friend. We decided to appropriately name him "Sinclair" and we think it will be fun to have him outside for Lilly to play with.

Adah and Molly, she is so much bigger!

Another shot, just to see the size difference

Here is Lilly "Feeding the bears" She was actually a really good shot and got in 3 of the 5 bean bags.

Here she is trying again

The porcupine. This guy was really fun to watch, I had no idea that they were such good climbers!

The black bear. He was just pacing back and forth, probably waiting for his dinner
