Another Action-Packed Weekend!

We started off the weekend with a fun-filled Friday. Kenny got to attend Chesapeake's Grand Opening ceremonies for their new Shreveport office. He was very excited to meet not only Aubrey McLendon (CEO of CHK), but also Governor Bobby Jindal. (I couldn't have even told you who the governor was!)

After all the CNG festivities, Kenny took the rest of the day off and joined us at Gymboree. Afterwards, the three of us went to Gators and Friends!

The Gators...

A new baby zebra!!! He ran and jumped, frollicking all over the place!

He came over to check us out, but wasn't interested in our cups of food. I suppose he gets a lot from all the visitors being so adorable and all! He did let us pet him; he was so very soft!

What a pretty llama. And she (IDK, just looks like a girl) didn't even try to spit on me!!

Sleepy?! What a big yawn!

Mira liked the mini goats.

It was SO hot outside, so we took a break inside where Mira got to try a little taste of my black cherry sno-cone! She definitely liked it!!!

Big girl Mira - using the 'snack tray' on her stroller! She LOVES graham crackers!!

Our favorite part - holding the baby alligator! Mira was very gentle while petting it (unlike how she pets Jeter & Shatzie)!


Until she noticed the head...then she sort of lunged at the poor thing! It only squirmed a little bit - must be a pro. Mira was very interested!

Mira and her new stuffed alligator on the way home. She smiled at it, talked to it, and loved on it all the way home!

Saturday morning, we went to a birthday pool party for Ben! Mira had fun wading in the kiddie pool with Daddy and getting splashed by Mason! She didn't scream or cry about the splashing this time - phew!

Mmmmmm....Capri Sun! (sorry Mira, not for baby girls!) She enjoyed slurping on the cold packaging anyhow!

After the pool party, Mira and I went and hung out with Casey and Mason at their house. It was great to have a chance to chat while the kids played so nicely together! Mason only tried to hit Mira in the head with his play hammer once, and she only tried to bite him once - pretty good for these two!!

Meanwhile, Kenny was playing golf with the guys. He doesn't really play golf, so mostly he was in charge of driving the cart and drinking beer...sounds better than actually playing!

Mira got to sit on the tractor with Jeff - she really seemed to enjoy this!

She liked it even better when she noticed the steering wheel and realized she could "drive"!!

We finished up the farm party with a hayride over to the pond where everyone was going to fish. It was well past Mira's (and our) bedtime, so we didn't stay at the pond too long. Mira did get to play with some lures (brand new, I was assured) and see a live fish (unfortuantely, it was on a hook...) before we left.

We spent Sunday doing some stuff around the house and running a few errands. Also, Sunday is when Mira decided to really start crawling!! I'll do a seperate post for the video of that! =)

Wow! What a weekend!!
