zoo + beach = a long (very fun!) day!

A few days before we left for our family vacation, we went to the zoo with our good friends Jada and Ella (and their Mama, Amanda too!)...

I LOVE this expression of Jake's as he watches the Hippos...Jada was pretty fascinated too... Ella? Not so much.... ;)
Watching the Orangutan....

being goofy at lunchtime...

Sweet baby Ella...

Amanda and I decided to give in and buy lollipops for the kiddos!

I think it's safe to say they liked them!

Hudson was ready to go I think!

After the zoo we went home for naps and then decided to head to the beach with our good friends Clara, Hannah and Eliza (&Jennifer too!)...

What a fun day! ...and one tired (preggo) mommy!!
