A Zoo Trip!

We took a trip to the zoo on Monday for Grandma Lacey's birthday! Happy Birthday, Grandma! (I'm sorry that we didn't get a picture with you, how did we forget that??) Auntie Ellen, Will, Sarah, Seth, and Collin also met us at the Zoo so we had a fun morning. This is the first time that I got to take Ava to the zoo but it isn't her first trip. Auntie Jeni and Uncle Tod took Ava along with the rest of their nieces and nephews a few months ago. She loved racing Will and Seth down the paths of the zoo and especially loved the Children's Zoo where she got up close and personal feeding some goats. :) My enjoyment of the zoo was slightly dimmed when I was stung by a bee in the first ten minutes at the zoo. Ouch! I had no idea that a bee sting could hurt so bad or make my arm swell like it did!! As a result I spent most of my time at the zoo fending off predatory insects, sure they were all out to get me now. While running away from the bees in the African Safari with me, Seth made the interesting comment that he had "Lots of Betty's around me today!" I don't really know what he meant but it was cute and worth mentioning. :)
