The Chronicles of Tadpole and Little Cub: Family Events

This past weekend we had an Open House Baby Celebration! Basically we threw a little party to make sure people had an opportunity to meet baby Shilo and congratulate Kayley on becoming a big sister. We felt so blessed by all the family and friends that stopped by to say hi and celebrate with us. I love seeing how those close to us care for our girls and love on them. It was super fun to see Kayley play with all her little friends who were able to stop by too. One day Shilo will join that high energy group and also laugh with delight while playing with toys and pulling books of the shelf.

We dressed the girls up as twins for the party

Monday we had our first big family outing and took the girls to the zoo. Shilo slept during our whole visit, but I’m sure she enjoyed listening to everything while she dreamed. We actually had quite an eventful visit. Kayley got to be inches away from a gorilla, only divided by glass. At first she was mesmerized, but then the gorilla moved a little closer and was just watching her, and she kind of freaked out. When we went to see the lion, he wasn’t close to the glass, but we did get to hear him roar a few times as he walked around. We think he was hungry or saying he wanted his female friend to come out and play. Kayley also got to be close to two jaguars at the same time while the jaguars gave each other baths. Plus, while in the farm area, the donkey came right up to Kayley to say hello. So you can see why I say we had quite an eventful visit.
