Busy week!

I have to keep reminding myself that it is February because we have had several days this week in the 60's. On Sunday it reached 65 degrees so Billie and I decided to take Reagan to the National Zoo in Washington DC. Neither of us had been there since we were little so we didn't really know what to expect. We also were not sure what Reagan's reaction would be because at times she has a very cautious personality.

It ended up being a GREAT day. Aunt Gloria and Aunt Shumbie (Billie's sisters) met us at the Zoo which made it even more fun. The first animals we saw were the Lions and Tigers. At first Reagan stared at them, with very little emotion. Then all of a sudden she began pointing at them and excitedly said "Ohhhhhhh!" while looking around at all of us to make sure that we saw them also. Her eyes and mouth were wide with amazement. It really is fascinating to see the world through a child's eyes. After seeing the Tigers Reagan was excited to see the other animals.

Her favorites were the monkeys (who walked on a tight rope above our heads), the crabs, and the turtles. She learned how to say turtle at the zoo, which was very sweet. We did not see all of the zoo on Sunday because we had to get Reagan home for bed but that just gives us an excuse to go back:)
