Emily's First Trip to the Zoo

Tuesday, February 3rd was Emily's first trip to the zoo (the Los Angeles Zoo). It was a very fun outing that we were able to share with our friends Louis and Natalie Downey.

We couldn't forget the petting zoo. Lizzy enjoyed giving the animals a little TLC =)

Emmy thought the animals were very fun to look at and touch =)

A little closer look =)

Mom, these guys are too cool!

On a more serious note, there is definitely an art to styling goat hair =)

The ladies =)

After the zoo, the Downey's invited us over for dinner at their lovely Burbank apartment. Lizzy took a few moments to snuggle with "Nini" and Uncle Louis after a long day of fun and play.

Lizzy enjoyed watching Uncle Louis play some video games. She even got to try it herself =) I should have taken a picture of our dinner. Natalie made us a delicious Dijon balsamic chicken with salad and a pineapple dessert. It was delicious! Thank you Downey's!
