LA Zoo with our little Monkey!

We took Bridget to the LA Zoo this past weekend and there was so much to see! Her favorite thing of course were the Moneky, Gorilla's, and Orangutans, especially Rosie and Bruno who we sat and watched for 30 minutes. The Zoo is pretty hilly so Cody and I both were sore the next day from walking around and holding Bridget a lot, plus the Aviary area is way on the hill with ramps and steps, it was a work out! Lots of construction going on, so we are excited to go back next year when it all opens (especially the Elephants!). We ended the day with a drive up to Griffith Observatory, cruise down Hollywood Blvd and an early dinner at Umami Burger, which we all enjoyed!

Bridgey and her Daddy!

Bridgey loves her Daddy soooooooooooooooo much! From the second he leaves for work in the morning to the moment he walks in the door she can't stop talking about him. "Mommy, daddy home?" or "Mommy, daddy workin'?" We are out during the day and she looks for him everywhere...she will see someone running or mowing a lawn and ask "Mommy, is that daddy?". Its adorable and I love her love for her Daddy. He is the best. xoxo

Horse Park

We had a fun time at the "Horse Park" in Lake Forest with cousins Sophia and Olivia and their friends Grayson and Reese. The stables are located next to a fun park and you are allowed to walk around and pet the horses and even feed some. There are probably 100 horses boarded at this location. Bridget was a little scared of some of the big horses, but cousin Livie was the most excited! We had so much fun, played at the park after, had lunch and cupcakes.

Painting...

We spent part of the day at a friend's house where Bridget painted...the girls decided to take off their clothes as paint started to spread over their bodies. My friend does photography and took a couple quick photos of the girls and they are so darn cute so I had to share. Bridget is very into painting, coloring and drawing these days so she was having a great time!

Vegas Baby!

So our camera stopped working after the first night, so sad. I missed pics of Jen's wedding and the fun weekend we had. Luckily Grammy and Grampy got some pics and once I download their pics I will add more. (Technology doesn't like us right now, both digital cameras are broken, laptop died and our AC went out, we can't afford to fix it all...but I need a camera!!! I miss it already.) Anyways, we went to Vegas for a 4-day 4th of July weekend and had a blast! We stayed at THE Hotel at Mandalay Bay and had a 750sf suite for under $150 a night (thanks to Jen's wedding room block), so with my parents room and ours adjoined we had 1,500 sf and 4 bathrooms...bigger than our house. Bridget loved it. She would run from one room to the other. We were also on the 34th floor and had some great views on the mountains (not a strip view).

Since I had never been to Vegas with a kid I wasn't sure what to expect, but it worked out awesome. Bridget loved the pools and there is so much to do, see and EAT. It wasn't too hot either. So here are a few pics that I managed to capture on Friday, the day we arrived.

Bellagio Water Show

Happy 4th, poolside. We spent the 4th at the pool from 9am-4:30pm in our cabana. It was so fun. Bridget loved the wave pool and learned to ride the waves.
