Boo at the Zoo

We had a great evening at Boo at the Zoo this year. Lyla the Ladybug was amazed when we first arrived – she kept looking around, smiling in wonder at all the kids around her. We were able to collect candy with our good friends Rand, Liam and Lily. Everything about the evening was absolutely perfect, especially being with our friends. It was one of the many times this year when I’ve experienced just as much amazement as Lyla – being a mommy and daddy is so much fun!

We are already looking forward to next year.

I’m going to have a hard time choosing pics for this post, so there might be more than a few:

Lyla’s favorite way to “ride” with Daddy:

Daddy said that Lyla walked right over to this hay maze and was intent on walking all the way through. People kept asking Lance how old she is because they all say she looks too little to walk.

Lyla loves Lily:

She is soooo beautiful:

We ended the night with a ride on the haunted carousel. I think Lyla was way too tired to enjoy it.

And, no night would be complete without pics with our favorite sea otter:

Sunday Night = Lyla's First Baseball Game!

Thanks to Uncle Scottie and Aunt Ang, Lyla unexpectedly got to attend the Riverbats game tonight with Liam. She loved the game and, in classic fashion, made herself stay awake through the entire evening so that she didn't miss a thing. She was particuarly interested in the game, the clapping, Lily's beautiful curls (see pic) and of, of course, Liam.

Needless to say, she slept all the way home and slept in this morning until 9:30, a new record!

Here are pics:

Somebody REFUSED to let go of Daddy's water bottle after the game!
