Gorillas in the mist.
It was rainy this weekend, but also kind of tropical. Really, just lovely weather, in my opinion!
On Saturday, Blake took Brooke to her first ever movie at the theater, a Toy Story 1 & 2 3D double feature. Brooke wouldn't wear the 3D glasses and wanted to walk around the theater every so often, but she and Blake had a good time.
Hadley has a few new words....sky, jacket and swing!
On Sunday, I took the little ladies to the zoo early in the morning. They have a new cheetah/lion area and it is just FANTASTIC. This is high praise coming from a former World Famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park volunteer. The cheetah was sleeping ONE INCH from Brooke and Hadley (though "sleeping" involved an eagle eye from the cheetah at times on the girls). The exhibit has an excellent design and layout and I see us visiting plenty in the winter, because it is covered and heated for the visitors.
Also, all around the zoo are these beautiful bronze statues for the kids to play on. Brooke and Hadley really love to check them out.
Waiting for the MAX, on our way back to "mommy's desk". I park in my office tower downtown and we take the MAX to the zoo. Brooke has now decided we must always get chocolate milk from the deli in my building, ride the elevators and go see mommy's desk on the 7th floor whenever we are "in the city".
Someone likes this chair.
Brooke decided to sleep under the big bears out in front of the gift shop. (My apologies to Grandma Mary and Grandpa regarding the Oregon Duck rain boots....uhhhhh...when in Rome, right????)
Driving the range rover at the cheetah exhibit..."Eh, no biggie...."
As close as we get to photos of them together these days. Check out those statues!
Someone has become a nighttime wanderer and I am not happy about it. I was shocked the other morning to go to wake her up and she was not in bed! I found her as below...she said she came downstairs to watch baseball (at 3:30 a.m.)!

Mishmash
Yes, the girls occasionally wear matching outfits. I have tried so many times to get them to stand together for photos, but this is as close as I can get. Little pigtails, soooo darling. Hadley is saying so many words these days, including "tiger" and "bike".
We spent Friday evening at Edgefield. We had the place to ourselves pretty much and it was so nice to just let the ladies run around. You can get cups of peanuts in the shell to munch on and Hadley loves them. Brooke is very attracted to a statue of Jerry Garcia they have on the property and we have to visit it whenever we are there.
Little moments that make up our days.
