Harper, Robin and I took advantage of Robin's day off for Memorial Day with a visit to the Fort Worth Zoo. What an amazing facility! It was our first time to visit, and we were all impressed. In fact, Harper squealed with delight when I first fastened her in her baby carrier -- she was so excited to see all of the animals and people. In fact, she stayed awake and fully engaged the entire time we were there. Robin had fun playing with our new camera and taking pictures of the animals.
We looked at the animals in the petting zoo, but didn't touch them. Maybe next time.

The lion yelled at the noisy crowd for a bit before curling up to take a nap.

After our zoo adventures, we popped in to Jenny and Paul's annual "Memorial Day Mojito Madness" party. We weren't able to stay long since it was late in the day and the time was quickly encroaching on Harper's bedtime, but I was so grateful for the opportunity to see Jenny and Paul and for them to meet Harper. They are overdue for a visit to Richardson, so we hope to see them soon!

I'm going to try this again. Love catching up with you all thru this site, since I'm no longer next door. Harper is adorable and is growing up so fast. Robin your photography is UNBELIEVABLE - it's professional quality and I expect to see your work in magazines. Kimberly
We loooove zoos, and Ben has been wanting to visit the Ft. Worth Zoo for a while. We checked out the Dallas Zoo not too long ago, and it was nice. But I remember the Ft. Worth Zoo being much better. We plan to check it out in a month or two. You know, we should get together and have dinner sometime when we are in the area. :)
We are constantly amazed about how fast time flies and how easy it is to loose close touch with good friends and family in our busy world. Recently, we've enjoyed the opportunity to keep up with several of our friends through their blogs. Generally, we aren't very verbose, but we love to share (especially photographs,) so we've decided to take a big step and start a sharing space of our own. Though it won't solve distance or schedule issues, we hope it will allow our friends and family to feel more connected with our growing family.
