G-Pa's Day!

G-Pa & Lily

G-Pa rising out of the leaves!


Chickens!

Being chased by the goose!


Look what we found near the monkeys!


You can't really see them here, but Lily and I took a photo near the donkeys (they are Joe's favorite)

The 3rd day was my dad's and he decided that he wanted to take Lily to a zoo. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of zoos in Maine- and there are even fewer open this time of year. But Dad found The Acadia Zoo. It was really more like a wild animal sanctuary (most of the animals had been rescued from harmful environments)- and most of the zoo is seen through a guided tour. We had our own private tour (we were the only ones there) and our guide was great. It was interesting to hear the stories behind each animal. I think by and large our favorite was the monkeys (these little tiny things that could jump incredibly fast)- they were facinating to watch. I think that Lily's favorite, however, had to be the chickens (probably because they were free roaming and didn't seem to mind her chasing them a bit). She was also rather fond of the goose (who wasn't so fond of us). After the zoo and lunch we headed back home. The afternoon was filled with fun in the leaf pile- Lily just had an absolute blast- being buried and having others(G-Pa and myself) buried too. She laughed so hard. We finished out the day with dinner at the Bear Brew Pub (one of my dad's favorites here). Good day G-Pa!

Wow you guys all came up with the most creative ideas for your visit! How fun! Next year when it gets warmer, you guys should come down here and we'll all go to Gray Animal Farm. I just love that place!

Well we are getting Brenna a kitchen set for Christmas this year...so maybe some play dishes/teaset or food? Besides that I can't really think of anything! Your always great at getting presents! So I'm sure whatever you pick will be awesome! For Lacey I have no clue...probably clothes would be the best for her...but she's 13 lbs now...so go for the 6 to 9 month sizes lol She is wearing some 6 month size clothes now! (they're a little big but not really) Anything in particular for Lily?
And yes let us know asap! :)
