Knapp Visit

Busy, busy week. When we got back from Memaw and Papaw's house, Mimi, Pop, and Aunt Becky were at our house visiting for the weekend. It was a really quick visit but we were able to fit in lots of fun things.

Bass Pro Shop

Rainforest Cafe

Hannah really liked watching the fish.

Katie liked playing in Sandy's dog kennel. Silly girl!

Andy has started teaching Katie some "cheerleader" moves. He usually does this with her in our living room. I'm much more at ease with them doing this in the pool. Ha!

Katie's getting more and more comfortable "swimming" without holding on to us every time she swims.

Snow Cones!!! Yum!!!

Aunt Becky and Hannah

Couldn't get Hannah to look the right way, but cute family picture anyway.

Swim Time!

And with the end of the rain, we were finally able to go swimming!

Go, Lily, Go!

Safari Zoo

On our last day at Memaw and Papaw's house, it finally stopped raining and we were able to go to the new safari zoo in town. It's been open for a year and I've been wanting to go ever since it opened. I have to say the website makes it look much better than it is, but we still had fun.

We were the only people there which was kind of nice. They had a little bus that they drove us around in to see all of the animals.

Katie was scared of them at first but warmed up a little the longer we were there.

Memaw bought some food for us to feed them, but none of us really enjoyed these big smelly animals sticking their mouths right up by our faces. Katie had the right idea and just poured the food out on the ground for them. LOL

The ostriches were my favorite. They would run alongside the bus as we drove on to the next spot to see more animals.

Besides the bus ride, there really wasn't much else.

We were in and out in about an hour, but it was really neat to see some cool animals and a great experience with Katie.

Cousins!

We had tons of fun with Tess and Lily too. They are such sweet girls.

Lily and Katie had fun playing together.

Lily put on a cooking show for us all and Katie "helped". Later in the video Katie started "doing ballet". She loves dancing and always calls it ballet.

I love this picture of Lily and Katie. Katie looks so grown up to me in this picture.

Katie and Lily enjoyed playing "dress up" too.

Aunt Jana and Lindsay came in town on our last day there. All the girls had fun playing on their phones and iTouches.

Memaw and Papaw's House

After our fun Indoor Safari playdate we hit the road to Memaw and Papaw's house for a week. Katie was super excited to see her grandparents, aunt and uncle, and cousins. And Hannah got to meet Uncle Danny, Aunt Mary, and cousins Tess and Lily. We missed more of our family who were out of town that week. That just means we'll have more family for Hannah to meet next time we go there!

It rained most of the week while we were there so we got to stay in to rest and play a lot.

We love ice cream and popsicles at Memaw and Papaw's house!

We also got to go see my friend, Robin and her sister and kids...

Indoor Safari Playground

I'm sure I've said it before, but I LOVE our playgroup. We have such fun playdates. This one was at an indoor playground with a safari theme. Very cute! Complete with...

several ball pits...
