After she woke up, we packed up and headed over to the McAnelly's where we picked up Taylor Nikolaus, whose parents were packing up for their move to a new house! Jim and Kristin had their 3 year old son, William, too, along with their 2 year old, Kaitlin, and 12 week old, Jacob. I bet that was a fun car ride to the zoo! Our other friends Carmen, Ben, and their daughter Allie met us there. All of the kids were great. We saw everything you're supposed to see at a zoo, tigers, monkeys (to match Grace's outfit), zebras, giraffes, a really ugly warthog (the Lion King makes them out to be much cuter), elephants, and many other little creatures! All of the kids were great, and all of the babies, Grace included, did a little napping in their strollers. 
Our little monkey!
Allie P, catching a few ZZZZ's!
William and Kaitlin, riding in style in the wagon (a must for toddlers)!
Taylor, whom I hope my kids grow up to be like! Such a great kid!
After we left, we went to Sammy's Grill for boiled crawfish, which was excellent. I'll add here that since the suction episode this morning, Grace was the model child the entire day. Never fussed, took a few little catnaps, laughed through bathtime, and was asleep 5 minutes into her last meal of the day, and has been ever since. We dropped her crib down tonight now that she's sitting, and it's a long way to reach down with a sleeping baby!
There's really nothing better to me than a day like this, with my precious little family, great friends, sunshine, and all topped off with a little crawfish and Abita Strawberry. Here's to hoping we get a repeat very soon!
