Hot, Hot, Hot!!!

Today was our fun-filled trip to the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco...well, HOT and fun. We went with our good friends, The Sackreiters. We got there at 9 am right when they opened, hoping to beat the worst heat of the day. It was already blazing hot at 9, plus don't forget the lovely humidity.

It was still great to get together with friends though. Sweet, little Annalise is such a good friend to the twins, and they LOVE her!! Here are the 3 cuties all ready to check out the critters! Those hats didn't stay on too long with the heat. (Lilly is in the green sleeves and Lexi is in the pink.)

Look who was sitting right by the glass showing off for 3 excited little girls!!

The reaction to the little monkey...if you can't tell, those are happy, scrunched up faces!

Lilly bug posing as a butterfly...

Annalise is helping her Mommy pull the wagon...such a good helper!

Yep, we were officially melting by this point...no worries, we had the girls well-coated in sunscreen and kept them hydrated! Those little red faces with sweaty hair was still adorable!!

The alligator was resting with his chin up against the glass and all the kiddos loved it! Here is a group of incredibly curious boys checking him out!!

His close-up and a cool pelican drinking some water!
It was time for the babies water break too....Lilly was gulping it!
Next the waterfall...

Jessica and I roomed together for 3 years at UMHB! Here we are now, 8 years later, as wives and mothers!!

Then it was break time! Jessica getting Lexi some water...look at that hot little face.

Daddy and Lilly trying to cool down...

I gotta say, the next picture is my favorite! Annalise was giving Lilly goldfish crackers and cheerios. Eric captured this sweet moment as Lilly anxiously awaited her next snack.

Jessica and her girl!!

And while it was fun...thank goodness, we were done!! It was 100 degrees when we left a mere 3 hours later. We drove home, had some lunch, got baths and showers, and took a LONG nap!! It was a great day! The girls happily went to bed 2.5 hours after waking up from their nap too. Thank goodness for good sleepers! We are so blessed...to have great friends and great kids!!
