The Cannon’s visit

We have been very busy around here, but we were able to squeeze in a visit to the zoo with Alan, Shawn and Alyssa last Saturday since they were in town. The weather was perfect and it was a really great day at the zoo. Shawn and Alan were our secret pals during the wait to adopt and each month of the exchange was so exciting to see what would arrive. Nadia uses the blanket they gave her every night in bed and the famous “taggie” who has traveled the world with us rides shot gun in the car seat with her each day.

Around the time that we saw the elephants she was doing better and we even managed to get some shots of the girls together 🙂

We went over to where the dragon sculpture usually is and look what has taken it’s place.

A Kangaroo with a little Joey. Isn’t this one cute with them each holding a paw?

Nadia did this on Saturday and I snapped a photo after she asked Mike to do it. We had no idea what started that, but today she told me that she’s “looking through her camera”.  Hee hee.

We all had a great time and it was so fun to get the girls together again since they were about 9 and 10 months old the last time.
