She was quite fond of her look and thought she was "cute" (That's what she said). When I went to take out her abundance of bows she got very angry at me and kept trying to put them back in while saying "cute". That was a first, the girl usually HATES me putting in bows.
In other news, we've been enjoying the weather before it gets too hot. We've been spending a lot of time in the back yard and using the bike cart/jogging stroller. We even took Aubrey and Poppy for a bike ride to the park. They enjoyed eachother's company! Today I intended on walking around the big block for some exercise and ending my walk at the park. About 15 minutes into my journey, I peek in and Aubrey's head is slumped over. I unbuckled her so she could lay on the seat and she was literally snoring when we made it home. Poor girl must have been tired.
On most days though, Aubrey is a wild woman and she likes to climb and jump off everything. I really have to keep an eye on her because she doesn't quite understand the concept of getting hurt yet. She likes to stand on the dining room chairs and hop from one to the next and she often falls in between them if I'm not there to catch her. The other day she was sliding on her little slide in the backyard when she starting doing this little roll/summersault at the end. After her most dramatic slides, we got smart and got out the video camera, but of course she was over it by then and this was the best we could get.
This kid is a hoot!
Although the trip was mainly to spend time with Meg and her fam, we also got to go visit the Fresno Zoo. What a great zoo! Aubrey's favorite part was the petting zoo, although we didn't get to spend too much quality time in there because just after we arrived it was feeding time. She also liked watching others feed the giraffe, but was intimidated by it's long tongue when it was her turn to feed it. Her favorite part of the day was sharing cookies and a stroller with her pal Christian. They both were troopers and played well together considering neither of them got a nap ALL DAY LONG! They even enjoyed a bath before bed time.
On our way home from Fresno we got to visit yet another one of our favorite families ( I'll just call them the C fam because mom is paranoid about too much info on the net :) ). Not only did we get to visit them at their house on Thursday, but we also RANDOMLY ran into them at the zoo on Wed. We knew we wanted to visit, but had not made plans yet because we didn't know how Aubrey would be handling life after our super exciting trip to the Mills fam. Anyways, the C's didn't even know we were going to be there, but we just happened to see them. SMALL WORLD! Aubrey had a blast playing with H & M and Justin and I enjoyed chatting, eating and watching A make her family secret biscotti. We're so glad we were able to stop by, but bummed that we left our camera in the car. These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago when the C's were in town for a cousin's soccer tournament.
