Day 2: Reid Park Zoo and baby Connor

Elle LOVES the Zoo! She is such an animal lover ( obviously she gets that from Daddy). We didn't think we were going to able to go because it had been raining all that morning. When we got to the Zoo it was sprinkling and GORGEOUS outside! We decided to " brave" the sprinkles and walk around anyway. I am so glad we did. It made it all the more fun!




Elle got to feed " Denver" the giraffe. She kept calling him " Horton". She especially loved seeing the Peacock and the Lions.



( I love her hands in her pockets!)








She also loved feeding the ducks! She would try and throw it where all the ducks were huddled around to make them fight for it ( again, she must get this from her Daddy).





After the zoo Elle took a nice long NAP! She was so tired from running around at the zoo.




Then...THE MEETING took place! Elle has seen pictures of baby Connor and videos, but nothing is the same as real life! She was SO in love with him. She would give him sloppy kisses on his fuzzy little head, hug him tight, and tell him " It's okay, mommy's gotcha". She also LOVED Becky! She would give her random hugs and light up whenever she saw her.



We also were able to see Elle's Great Grandpa Dillion and Great Grandma Kathleen.This was the first time he has been able to meet Elle, so that was really special. It made it even more fun that he was getting to see his TWO GREAT Grandchildren at once!

The rest of the day we hung out at my parents house with Becky and Connor. I love this sweet this guy. He fell asleep on me and I just about melted! I know him and Elle are going to be great buddies in the years to come!
