Sacked out after a long day at the zoo

The weather was beautiful this weekend and was the perfect time to go to the Oregon Zoo! It was a big family event with my mom and sister, Jeff & Cheryl, Brandon, Shelby, Cooper, Sonja & Ethan. It was kind of hard to keep track of Addison, since she was sometimes being watched by any of the other persons in our party, so we kept having to try to keep an eye out and make sure she didn't run off. Which she did try to do a few times. We brought our strollers, hoping that part of the time she just might want to sit in it, but for the most party she didn't. Kennedy didn't want to sit in her stroller much either, so I hauled Kennedy around in my sling most of the day and she did very well, with only getting upset a few times...pretty good considering we were out and about and she was in the sling for quite a while. It was so cute, Addison would call to the animals, "come here (fill in blank with whatever animal we were looking at)". Addison had a good time running around and checking things out, she even got to pet some goats at the petting zoo. Addison really likes to play with her cousins Ethan and Cooper. She was so tuckered out at the end of the day, she crashed! A good time was had by all.

I must admit, I am a bit disappointed with the pics....although many of them are great, we could have done a better job if I wasn't trying to take pics with Kennedy eating in the sling, and Brian was trying to chase Miss Addison around while taking pics. It was a bit hard to do a quality shot with our hands full and 1 on the little ones :)
