Zoo Day and Mardi Gras!

We have had amazing weather so we took a quick girls outing to our favorite spot the Houston zoo! We have a routine now, Chimpanzees, giraffes, Lions, ride the carousel, pet the goats, eat, go home. (thinking maybe eating should come before petting goats, ill keep that in mind next time.) Both girls LOVE the Chimanzees. Its always our first stop. They crack me up...except the dirty old man one...he is not so funny, and kinda mean.

Monkey see Monkey Do!

Monkey face!

Train ride

We also got to enjoy a quick trip to Lafayette for Mardi Gras weekend. The girls saw their first parade, it was cold and raining and Ella said "OK I think we caught enough stuff, we should go and share the rest with the other kids" after about the 5th float, and A just kept sayin "Mo' Beads!" She loved it.
Because of the weather Endymion, our favorite parade in Nola was moved to Sunday night, so with the help of babysitting Aunt, Uncle and cousins Dylan, Mary and I were able to sneak in a night in our favorite town! No pictures, our camera died :(
But here is one of the girls in their cute Mardi Gras tops I made them. They had matching dresses for Mardi Gras day but poor Ainsley was too sick (and cranky) to wear hers.

Great week, I love this time of year!
