Camden is already a responsible young man who helps out around the house. The other day he pitched in to help Chase fix the gate.

Whoop! Whoop!

It's spring break people. Once again I'm here to report that we are not headed anywhere this year, no travel for me plus real life doesn't really have a spring break, but it doesn't mean we can't have a little fun. All of our usual activities for the week are cancelled so I will be trying to entertain Sophie with as little physical effort on my part as possible! I'm feeling a little like a whale these days so traipsing around the zoo or climbing through an inflatable maze isn't that appealing, but we've got some park play dates lined up and a few other fun activities. We kicked off our week with a walk to the park down the street with Chase on Sunday where Sophie loved sharing her favorite activities with him.

Los Angeles Zoo

This past weekend we took a little family trip to the Los Angeles Zoo. It was a beautiful, sunny and warm Sunday, especially for January! The Los Angeles Zoo was huge and took us most of the day, including a brief nap in the stroller to get through but we loved every minute of it. Sophie has always loved animals and this was the perfect excuse for her to show off her growing repertoire of animal sounds.

Sophie ooh-oohed at the gorillas

Made friends with a coati

Was fascinated with the bird show

Studied the giraffes

Tried to climb in to get a better look at the meerkats

Tried to walk as much of the zoo as we'd let her

She even did a little nose picking, while I was

trying to pose for a cute mother/daughter photo

And the award for the strangest animal goes to the Gerenuk. It had the skinniest legs, longest neck and tiniest head combination and just didn't look quite right.
