I have a little catching up to do. We have explored a lot these past few weeks. Let's start at the beginning...
Last Friday, we had dinner with some friends from Fort Worth. After dinner we let the kids hang out. Then, we all took a family walk with the wagon. Logann and Andrew had a great time riding along...especially when they spotted all the dogs along the way.
Of course Logann didn't want to leave baby Andrew's house. But, we have promised to catch up more often. I'm not sure who had more fun: the adults or the kids!
The next morning, Logann attended a birthday party for her friend Caroline at Bouncin' Around. My little toddler didn't think twice about climbing the HUGE steps on the GIGANTIC slides. The first few tries, I had to give her a little boost, but she quickly got the hang of it and went crazy on all of the bouncy toys.
Before we left, I realized how sweet my Logie Bear can be. We were getting our things together to leave, and I told Logann to go tell Caroline, "Happy Birthday!" She walked over to Caroline, but Caroline got distracted with her new presents across the room. Instead of walking back to me to leave, she chased Caroline around the room until she could give her the birthday message. It made me laugh to myself, yet think how proud I am of my baby girl. Instead of giving up (like mom would have done if someone walked away), she knew it was important to listen to her mom and to be kind to her friend. Isn't she precious?!?!?!?
Finally, we took a trip to the Oklahoma City zoo. Logann's cousin Miah had a class field trip to the zoo, so Jeremy, Logann, and I got to tag along. My mom and dad and Jeremy's mom also met up with us. We didn't ride over there with Miah, so as soon as we walked in the gate, they hugged like long lost friends and held hands for the longest time as they walked along with Jeremy's mom (Grammy).
On our way out from seeing the lions, Logann stopped to listen to the zoo keeper holding a turtle. Of course, Logann reached out and touched the turtle (begging to hold it) as the nice lady pointed out specific turtle characteristics. At our next stop, being fearless, Logann also plopped herself down next to a gorilla sitting in a window. It cracked me up because neither one of them seemed to mind the other one as they "sat" together.
We had a great time looking around at the animals. As expected, Logann was not ready to leave, but we were able to talk her into going to find a hamburger as long as we had "catup." Next, we're off to Mississippi. Adventures with Owie to come!!!!!
