The zoo and ugly faces

We feel so blessed that both of our families were able to come out for David's baby blessing. My in-laws came early Thursday morning before the blessing. While they were here we hit all of our favorite places to eat, the park, the zoo (of course) and Bass Pro Shop. They also watched the kids while I took a nap every single day they were here. I felt like a new woman with that extra sleep!

For the amount of time I spend talking about the zoo on this blog, I feel like I have done a pretty good job at holding off on the zoo pictures... Not today!!! Behold, the zoo photo dump:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
The only thing better than watching tractors for hours from your carseat is actually riding on one.

While we were having fun at the zoo on Thursday, my family began their trek across the country. My mom sent me a text saying that Elizabeth declared a "best selfie" competition and that I was supposed to be the judge...




According to my instagram poll, Elizabeth was the winner. I wanted to participate in this competition as well so I sent this picture:


I received this text: "How do you take a selfie when both hands are on your cheeks? You cheated" and then I got disqualified.
 
Our selfie contributions:

Day 2 selfies (I think James is the winner here)




Day 3 selfies were just plain scary:





 
 
A million selfies and 3 days of driving later, my family finally arrived! And if you arrived to the end of this post, I will not congratulate you, but wonder why you just waisted your time looking at zoo pictures and ugly selfies???
