This is Maggie giving her friend Emily a kiss. Emily usually comes over to play on Wednesday evenings when her Grandma and Grandpa are babysitting.


The bearded lady.









We loaded up the Austins and Pettys for a Saturday trip to the NC Zoo- a little over an hour away in Asheboro. We had a lovely road trip, until we got to the zoo and it was closed. It was like Clark Griswold and family had pulled up to Wally World, only there was no Marty Moose to punch in the nose. We did find a good shoe outlet near the zoo, and stopped by Farrington Village near Chapel Hill on our way back. The kids got to see a few animals- cows, donkey, and a couple of goats. The day was not a complete disaster, we even got free tickets for the next time we attempt the zoo.









These are some pics from Mother's Day. I got breakfast in bed, Mexican for lunch, and Daddy cooked a special dinner. Cake, too!!! It rained a good bit of the day, so we had some good puddles to jump around in after dinner. Maggie even noticed the moon for the first time- she's usually in bed when the moon is out!
