Zoo Day

We had a good family day today. We got an early start. Our first stop was in the French Quarter to have beignets at Cafe' Du Monde'. Elena loved it. She couldn't eat more than one beignet because they were so big. I guess I don't go that way enough, but I could not believe how busy they were. We had to wait about 20 minutes just to be seated. By the time we left, Elena had powder sugar all over, none on her face oddly, but all over her clothes. We left Cafe' Du Monde' and went to the zoo. It was such a nice day for that. The weather was cool enough and the crowds were not too bad this early in the day. We were able to go through and get out just as the big crowds started coming in. Landon got to ride in his big boy stroller today with no car seat attached. He loved it. I don't think he slept 10 minutes the whole time we were there. He loved being in that stroller and he loves being outside. He was just watching everything. After we came home, they both slept for about two hours. Then we loaded in the car again and left to go to Uncle Jamie's house for some burgers. Elena and Grayson played all night until we were all exhausted. They went out to the chicken coop and collected the chicken eggs. Elena was scared of the chickens but she finally got brave enough to get an egg out. Grayson is a pro though. He knew exactly where to go and what to do. When we got home, everybody crashed. This was a busy but fun day.
