Zoo and the Beach

It was a really hot weekend last weekend so we got out and took advantage of the warm weather.  On Saturday I met several other Orange County moms at the Santa Ana Zoo.  My two were the oldest and the youngest baby was 5 months old.  There was another gal there who was adopting a family member, so it was nice to meet someone else 'in my shoes'.  Her daughter is just a few days younger than Cooper so we could also bond over similar experiences with 1 yr olds. 

All of the kids really didn't see much at the zoo.  However Cooper and Charlotte had their fingers nearly nibbled off at 'the Farm' from ducks, chickens, turkeys, ponies, and goats.  I let them out of the stroller for a bit to run around, which was a little overwhelming at first since I had to chase both babies.  The other moms couldn't believe I was brave enough to do it (everyone else had only one baby who weren't walking yet).  I figured it was better than them yelling the whole way home since they'd been strapped down for so long. 

I didn't get many pictures, but here are a couple.  They were obsessed with the fences.

Then on Sunday Chris and I took the babies to the beach because it was 86°F!!  That is really warm for us since we are used to 75° weather.  Cooper wasn't sure about the water, but LOVED the sand and we couldn't pry Charlotte out of the water.  We forgot the sand toys at home, but that's okay because watching the two of them was plenty of work.

We had to walk down a hill to get to the water and Cooper didn't like walking, so he crawled backwards.  Pretty smart if you ask me.
