Zoo Atlanta with Grandaddy, Leanne, Doug & Daddy

Grandaddy and Leanne were both here over Memorial Day weekend. On Saturday we all went to the Atlanta Zoo - Grandaddy, Leanne, Mike, Kim (Leanne's sister), Marshall and McKinley (Leanne's nephew and niece), Doug, Nathan, Sofia, Jaquelyn and I. We have an annual pass and we love it every time we go! In my opinion, it's one of the highlights in Atlanta (they have several elephants, lions, kimono dragon, pandas, gorillas and so much more).

The new thing this trip was the Parakeet Feeding Cage. You can buy little sticks with seeds on them and you hold them out for the parakeets to eat from your hand. It's really cool! Here are some pictures and a video of the birds swarming all over our heads!

Here are Sofia and McKinley looking silly as meer cats - and Sofia as a "leon" - grrrrrrr!

Sofia looking cute on the giraffe.

Sofia and Aunt Leanne strolling together - awwww!! She can pronounce her name really well now - "Leeeeeaaaannnnneeee" - it's really drawn out the way Sofia says it.

Jaquelyn enjoyed the zoo too - she got to be carried around all day - which is what she loves :o)


Sofia looking cute in her hippie girl skirt - Jody McHoul gave this to us as a baby gift before she was born. I LOVED it and couldn't wait for Sofia to be able to wear it! It was worth the wait!!!


Here are all of the kids (plus me since Jaquelyn was on me) on the gorilla. Speaking of the gorilla - Doug did some amazing cinematography of the gorilla. Check out this video! YUCK!


Here are Doug and Nathan swinging Sofia. She LOVES this!


Here are Aunt Leanne and Jaquelyn checking each other out while we were on our lunch break:o)


It was a really GREAT time at the zoo - as evidenced by Sofia on the way back to the car.
