Our Weekend....Zoo Time!

Well, we had our first outing to the Waco Zoo on Saturday morning. The weather was PERFECT...I mean perfect...sunny but not hot. Loved it! We have a great zoo for being a 'smaller' city in comparison to our giant neighbors of Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. I was impressed. We met our friends, The Julians. The cool part of the story is that Rachel and I were bridesmaids in each other's weddings almost 7 years ago. We grew up together in a Memphis suburb and were friends through our church. We lost touch after our weddings, but God brought us back together this summer when we both moved back to Waco. How cool is that and what are the chances? We do enjoy rekindling the friendship but it's a little challenging with 3 kids to manage between the both of us. She has a 4 year old daughter and a 1 year old son. Thanks for meeting us Julians...we had a great time. Be sure to double click on the picture collage to enlarge it to see the pictures better. :)

Afterwards, we met a 'haven't seen in a while friend' and 'Aunt' Kim. Jennifer was my Graduate Assistant at BU and then took over for me when we moved to Alabama last year. Since then, she has moved on and recently returned from an internship at the White House in D.C. So proud of you Bakes....so good to have seen you. Thanks for coming down to see us. You're the best and we love you. On a side note...Aunt Kim really wanted him to get his first taste of 'southern wine,' but I put my foot down and let him only lick the cup (ha). He is his mama's boy that's for sure! Soon enough Walker...soon enough!
