Last weekend was full of firsts! My first night away from Cora and her first trip to the zoo! Hence all the wildness. On Friday night, Eli and I drove to New Braunfels to celebrate Ryane's bacheloretteness. It was a lovely vintage themed party. We enjoyed a delicious patio dinner by candlelight.
And some downtown NB fun.
We spent the majority of our time at a wine bar. The guy who was singing that night INSISTED on singing to Ryane. He was SO into it. It was quite possibly one of the most hilarious things I have ever witnessed. Ryane was a great sport!
She is such a great gal, we are so excited to have her as part of the family. Can't wait until their wedding in November (Cora is going to be a flower girl!!!!!)
That Sunday we took Cora to the Houston Zoo. She absolutely loved it!! Although she wasn't that impressed by the big animals. She would just walk up to the cage and say, "Oh, hi lion," or "Oh, hi bear." No big deal.
She was, however, fascinated with the elephants. This is her impression of one . . .
After seeing them she just ran around in circles laughing for a good 5 minutes.
She also fell in love with the drums in the African forest. We spent a good deal of time playing them.
In fact, when we tried to leave, she threw her first real temper tantrum. Like threw herself on the ground crying. Uhhhhhh. Ladies and gentleman, looks like we have a strong-willed toddler on our hands. I tried to document it, but Michael wouldn't let me :(
But not to worry, her spirits were soon revived by the slide and petting zoo. She tends to be a little timid around dogs, so I was interested to see how she would do in the petting zoo.
But she walked in like she owned the place. She pet almost every goat . . .
and got down on their level to tell them all hello.
Needless to say, the zoo was a huge hit. I hope we can make it back soon!!
