ZOO with Nanny and PopPops

Nanny and PopPops made another short trip to VA Beach to visit. We had a fun day at the Zoo and Skinny Dip Frozen Yogurt bar enjoying the weather.

Mini now eats more than Ava. No Joke.

Ava loves maps just like Daddy. Especially since these are all pictures
Ellie has a gashed up nose because Ava accidentally kicked her with her cast. They are going to open up an investigation on me!

Showing us where we were on the map. Her favorite were the giraffes.
The wagon was the perfect height for most attractions
She is such a bruiser. She can down a whole cup of water in 2 minutes.
Our favorite exhibit of the day- the baby giraffe!

Ava's favorite movie right now is Babe so she had to have a chat with this pig.

I swear I do not beat my children.....

Ava was running around the house and her feet slipped out from under her. During her fall we are guessing she kicked the table. She broke her Tibia. She will be wearing a cast for 3 weeks and will not be able to walk. When she first got it she was thrilled because she thought it was just a hot pink boot.
Then she realized she couldn't walk in it.....or take it off.....and her leg started hurting. The first 48 hours were brutal.
Then she was back to her old self
and figured out how to scoot around to play
We got her a wagon and she figured out how to pose sitting down.
Thankfully, Nanny and PopPops came to the rescue to help us out that weekend.
Both girls loved helping PopPops with all the projects he did on our house. One being installing new childlocks on all the cabinets.
Nanny got Ava a special surprise kid lap top computer
