We had a busy Labor Day weekend with both sets of grandparents visiting Ashtyn. Mimi (Grandma Barlow) even brought Ashtyn a Minnie Mouse doll to get her used to the whole "Disney" idea since we will be visiting Disney World at the end of the month in part, a celebration of my birthday. It will be our first time to travel by air with Ashtyn!
Today, is the actual holiday of Labor Day and we decided to spend it with one of my best girlfriends, Jennifer McEvoy, and her family. We went to the OKC Zoo and had a fabulous day. The weather was nice and although the zoo was fairly crowded many of the animals were out and about. Ashtyn and Brian (Jenn's son) had a great time on the swings. Sadly, those pictures were taken on her camera so I cannot share them yet. We noticed a big difference going to the zoo with Ashtyn this time. At 9 1/2 months old she can actually enjoy the animals b/c she can "see" them and definitely notices them now. She seemed to enjoy the sea lions and the tiny goats at the Children's zoo area. The carousel however frightened her more this time then at our last visit to the Tulsa zoo a couple of months ago. We opted for the "peacock bench" instead of a moving animal and that seemed to be okay with her.
I hope everyone had a relaxing, happy weekend as well!
