We have been wanting to check out the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs for ages, so while Trevor was off we took a trip down there, stayed in a hotel and went to the Zoo. It was a fun mini vacation, but not especially relaxing. Going anywhere with kids this little is almost more work than it's worth, but you gotta get out right?
At the zoo you can get really close to the Giraffes and feed them -
Jordyn was a little intimidated by that big black giraffe tongue.
Avery was playing on her little slide the other day and I took some pictures of her being silly. She is such a ham. She took 2 steps yesterday from me to Trevor and we were all so excited! She is getting so big. It won't be long before she's running after big Sis!

Cupie Doll.
On Saturday we went to the new Highlands Farmer's Market, which was small but fun and then we went to the park up the street for some fun in the sun - before the afternoon rain began to pour - here's Jordyn on the SeeSaw.
and Ave - hold on tight!!!
Hula Hoopin' in the backyard.
Jordyn found a big puddle on the porch after one of the many afternoon rainstorms we've been having every day for the last few weeks - what fun it was to jump in.
Avery has a new friend - baby Linden, who we are taking care of this summer - she is 8 months old, and a very sweet and mellow little gal.
