When Daddy is Away...

Audrey and I go out to play.  Earlier this week Elijah went on a business trip to OKC.  We dropped him off at the airport and headed over to the zoo.  I only brought some snacks because we weren't going to stay all day.  The weather was perfect and there wasn't a whole lot of people there.  This was Audrey's transportation.  Taking the lead as usual.

Our first stop was the seals and sea lions because they were about to get fed. Audrey didn't really enjoy waiting, but she did have fun watching the seals.
We then headed over to the elephants and Audrey got to see a peacock.  She loved him and kept running back over to see him instead of the elephants.
Mommy, Daddy, and baby...I think.



"Hi puhcah"
We trail blazed through the cat walk and noticed that the porcupine was out...Audrey however was more interested in the crafts that were being made, so we decided to make dad a snake.  I glued, Audrey drew.

Way more fun than the porcupine.
We hit up Africa, which all the animals were snoozing...go figure.  By this point it was getting super humid and this mom was getting tired.

Lazy animals.


Yet another lazy animal.
Our last visit was to the polar bear.  He was hiding off in a corner and it was hard to see him!
This area smelt an awful lot like dead fish and pee.  Audrey didn't seem to notice.


There he is...bottom of the picture.
Before we left we had to take one photo of the capybara...Elijah's favorite giant sized hamster.
After our trip to the zoo I was ready for a nap...Audrey, however, didn't nap until around 4ish.  Crazy girl.  The next day we met up with our friends Melinda and Tanner to see how the kids who do at the movies.  Next week they are showing Rio (one of Audrey's favorites) so this was  a good test run.  Overall, Audrey did pretty good....for an almost 2 year old.  On Wednesday's one of our local theatre's shows older kids movies for a $1. Can't beat that.  This one was Kung Fu Panda 2.  I realize now that we need at least 2 bottles of milk, TONS of snacks, and probably some popcorn!  I had a blast though!

Right before the movie started!!
After the movie we headed over to Dion's for some lunch and conversation! The kids didn't really want to sit anymore, so it was a fast one!

Mmmm fruit!!

Best friends...always!

Later than night we picked up Elijah from the airport.  I'm sure all the people enjoyed Audrey throwing herself on the ground and screaming because I wouldn't let her go down the escalator.  Ms. Independent!!

Yes, I take fantastic photos.
