ZOO and Ducks

We enjoyed to new first with Raygan-Elise this summer.

July 6th--First, we took her on her first zoo trip. We went with the Long family! We met the Longs when we first moved here. Abby and Reese were the same age and both in my class for 2 years. Then, they were in K together and now 2nd. Gerry called and invited us to join her family and of course we did!! It was a fun trip. Raygan-Elise pointed all day long. Her little finger just pointed away. Pointing is her new trick of the month. (In fact, you can take her in the hall and give her two choices of places to go, and she will point to where she wants to go) She isn't saying anything and stuck to her paci, but she pointed! :) Reese's favorite spot was the bird exhibit which we almost didn't go into but was talked into by another friend we ran into- Michelle, Zoe's mom. Reese counted how many birds he caught the whole time. Raygan-Elise even love the birds, although she really wanted to touch one! We even walked to the farm so we could take a picture of Raygan-Elise in the egg! We have the same picture of Reese on his first zoo trip (with Stephen and Noelle). I need to find it and put them in a frame together! Although I think Raygan-Elise was much older on her first zoo trip. I'll have to look back and see.

July 13th--Next, Reese had his first football meeting at the city park and then we took both of them to feed the ducks. Reese enjoyed running around the whole lake at the city park (its pretty big) because just minutes earlier his football coach said they should practice running...so he did! Raygan-Elise was much more interested in feeding herself the bread. She was trying to pick it up until finally we just gave her some to eat. That was her favorite part! Next we walk to the playground area for a bit. Raygan-Elise enjoyed the swing, and Reese "enjoyed" being jealous of Raygan-Elise!!!
