Goin' to the Zoo Zoo Zoo May 30, 2012

We love the Zoo, and we love our zoo membership! Here's pictures from our visit in May.

Abi 

Katie

The Giraffes were out and really personable this day.
I like how in the picture of just Katie the giraffe looks like its coming out of her head.

Its so fun to watch the elephants!

Katie enjoyed a ride on a Zebra, on the carousel of course!

Abi rode a tiger on the carousel and then we saw a tiger sleeping.

The girls got an icee to keep cool!

Pretty birds.

The tortoise seemed to be really interested in us. The bats and the sloth just slept.
Abi loves the sloth, it's one of her favorite animals.

The Bird Show

We enjoyed watching all the birds go by. I love how close they fly overhead!

We always have fun at the zoo.
Once one trip is over we are already looking forward to the next time we can go!

Crafting May 2012

I love to sew and I'm pretty much an amateur but long to get better, so when I heard about the craftsy block of the month which is a free class and quickly joined. The website Craftsy.com is awesome, it is a place where you can take online sewing, quilting, food, and other classes. Most of them cost money but a few are free.  I've always wanted to learn to piece quilts and quilt and thought this would be the way to do it. John got me quilting rulers for mothers day and I got started and my first two quilt blocks. 

My rulers, quilt blocks and a little bracelet purse I made for one of Katie's friends having a birthday.

Mid May one of my friends who has 3 daughters had her first son and so because I generally only get to sew and craft for my girls I got to work.

 I made a blanket 2 burp cloths and stenciled some onsies.
