Last weekend we went to Brookfield Zoo. It was honestly one of my favorite days of the summer. I had been looking forward to taking Kenley to the zoo for a while, and we just had a really fun time spending some family time together. It was a very warm day, but we stayed cool by going into some of the indoor exhibits, and eating italian ice. One of the first things we did was go into the butterly garden. This was one of my favorite parts and Kenley was looking all around. She would really keep her eyes on the butterflies and where they were flying. We also petted the stingrays, and even one of the little baby stingrays came over by me. They were very soft and smooth. Kenley was a very good girl at the zoo, and like usual she didn't want to miss out on anything and stayed awake pretty much the whole time. Of course, she only drifted off right before the dolphin show and then we had to wake her up because they didn't allow strollers in. I tried to point out some of the dolphins right as they were jumping so she would look in that direction.
This week has been very hot, so we have been getting full use of the baby pool! Kenley could sit in there for hours and splash around. I also took her to my Aunt Tammy's house to go swimming one day this week, and again she loved being in her floaty. She is getting so strong and can now hold her body up into a full push-up posistion. She uses this to help her scoot around. It is so funny to see her like a little body builder holding all of her strength on ther arms and toes. She seems pretty proud of herself and smiles and laughts when she accomplishes this. I know it won't be long before she is crawling! Only 2 days until Katie and Greg's wedding! I am very excited and it's going to be very fun since we are all standing up. I can't wait to see Kenley wheeled down the isle in her little wagon. I know it is going to be an amazing day, and I am very happy for my sister and Greg who have waited a long time for this special day.
