Hello Westport! Hello Zoo!

Sorry I am a little behind in blogging- I've had some technical difficulties and am now good friends with one of the geniuses at Apple's genius bar :(  Last Saturday we were invited down to Westport, MA to spend the day with Phil, Adriana, and Adriana's mom.  It was one of the most relaxing days we have had in a very long time!  We had a lovely lunch at a cute little restaurant, soaked up the sun at the beach, picked up some lobsters from a fisherman right off the boat, played some badminton, had the most delicious lobster dinner, and topped it off with some yummy ice cream!!!  What a day!  More pics to come once I can grab them off of Patrick's phone.

On Tuesday Emma and I had another exciting excursion with our friends Suzanne & William and Kimberly & Grace... we went to the zoo! The six of us squeezed into Suzanne's SUV after some careful arranging and rearranging of strollers, bags, babies, etc and traveled to the Stone Zoo.  There were so many fun and interesting creatures to see- Emma loved the bears and I loved the monkeys but we could have done without the creepy reptiles! 

Everyone is all in- let's hit the road!

Emma's in charge

Bald Eagles are huge!

 Flamingos- stinky birds, who knew?

Gigantic porcupine!

Monkey with a mustache :)

Mama and baby monkey- that baby was a ball of energy!

 Emma was unimpressed with the reindeer!

So exhausted!

After the zoo we had a long and lovely picnic.  Here is Emma showing off her tripod sitting!!!
