We're going to the zoo zoo zoo!!

We finally took Talyee to the zoo! She loved every minute of it. Before going she said she most wanted to see owls and goats. Luckily, we got to see owls, goats and a whole lot more! Taylee got to go with her best friend Coop Jones too. Such a fun day!

Taylee LOVED the gorillas. When she was up against the glass a HUGE "daddy" gorilla came up and put his hand against hers. I thought she'd run, instead she smiled sweetly and said "hi!"

The Best Dad

This post is a little late but very necessary. Taylee enjoyed Father's Day just as much, if not more than her Dad. She made him pretty darn happy. She's ALWAYS been a Daddy's girl. Matsons an INCREDIBLE father to both our kids. We're SO LUCKY! Happy Father's Day!!!
She wanted breakfast in bed like Dad. Of course, Mickey Mouse pancakes and chocolate milk.
Painted this pretty picture for dad and got up so early (bed head) to make breakfast.
