But we Mommies have to get our of the house at some point other than to go grocery shopping don’t we?

Going to the Zoo at 3 months old isn’t about seeing the animals or going on all of the rides. It’s about getting Mommy out of the house to be with the other Mommies and kids. Yesterday we took a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo with Candace & Alex; Ona, Ciara & Rowan; Colleen & John Francis; Lindsay, and Christine. We had a grand time sweating together in the heat!

But I would have to say the highlight of the day was when we took a spin on the Carousel – Taylor’s first ride ever!

We rode on a panther...I thinkIMG_0433.jpg

He actually spent most of the ride staring at the green ceiling but he enjoyed it none-the-less. And at the end of it all Taylor was….

Exhausted!

Exhausted!

I look forward to many more trips to the zoo with friends.

I’ve really fallen behind on posting to the blog. Bad Amy! There have been a lot of exciting things happening so I’ll post a couple of posts over the next few days to bring you all up to speed.

Last week we (Taylor, Josh, and I) took a trip up to CT/MA/RI to do the family tour. Taylor got to meet a lot of people:

From the Feierman/Frost Side: Nana & Grampy (Granna was there too)

From the Roy/Carlon Side:  Great Grammy Cookie, Great Aunt Ann, Great Aunt Carolyn, Great Aunt Bobo, Cousins Kara & Ada, Great Great Aunt Pat, Great Great Uncle Paul, Great Great Uncle Gordon, Great Great Aunt Carol, Mor-Mor-Far (?), Great Great Grandma Carlson. (Gramzee, Gramps and Tante were there too)

We didn’t meet everyone all at once. That would have been slightly overwhelming for everyone.  Instead we spread it out over 4 days and met small groups on each day.

While all of the relatives are special to Taylor’s life only one helps complete 5 living generations – Great Great Grandma Carlson (mormors farmor in Swedish – I think). She is my mother’s father’s mother. She is 105 years old and will be 106 coming up on August 17. She was very excited to meet Taylor. Below is a picture of the 5 generations:

Bottom Row (l-r) Elsa Carlson (Grandma Carlson to me), Taylor & Me

Of course Taylor won’t remember this meeting, but we have the picture as proof. Maybe he’ll write about it as a 5th grade history project.
