I went on down to the Audubon Zoo...

... and they all asked for you!

Today, I took my very first trip to the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. I had some great company, too. I went with Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa Marshall, Aunt Lindsey, Parrain, and Aunt Kristi.

I really enjoyed looking at all the animals: my favorites were the sea lions, turtles, and giraffes.

We also got to see an exhibit with real live dinosaurs! Okay, Mommy just told me they weren't real, but I don't believe her. They were moving and roaring! I was a little hesitant to get too close to them, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Oh, I almost forgot to tell you: I had my very own limo service. Well, actually, it was a red wagon service. I would ride in it to each stop, and get out to look at the animals.

After the zoo, we all had a picnic under a shady tree.

Here are just a few highlights, but you can see all of the zoo pictures at my photobucket site.


We didn't have the best view of the elephants. One of them was spraying mud on his back to cool off. Do you think Mommy would let me do that?


Daddy and I got to ride on a dragon! Okay so Mommy says it's really a big lizard and this one's not real. Whatever...riding a real dragon sounds cooler.


I learned a new word: Alligator. The Audubon Zoo has white ones. Aren't they neat!


Here I am petting Boxer the ferret.


This is about as close as I would get to "Baby T-Rex." Doesn't look like a baby to me.


All the pictures you've seen so far are courtesy of Mommy, but I took a bunch of pictures of my own.


I think something's wrong with my camera, though. When I looked at the pictures I took at home, they all looked like this...

What happened to the animals?

Grandma says our next field trip should be to the Insectarium. She says that's a plays with a lot of bugs. AWESOME!

Public Service Announcement

Friends, I want to take this opportunity to remind you that texting and talking on the phone while driving is very dangerous! Please be careful on the roads. You never know who's life you might be putting in danger. It could be mine! Those things can wait! Please be safe.

Just to reiterate the point, I wanted to include some pictures of WHAT NOT TO DO.

Aren't Grandparents Grand?

I just LOVE my grandparents. Until just recently, the only one I called by name was G.G. I'm finally learning to call the rest of them by name, too. Grandma and Grandpa are too hard to say, so I decided on my own to change them to PeePaw and MeeMaw.

I got to hang out with all of them this weekend. It was so much fun!









Sorry, MeeMaw, Mommy didn't manage to catch a picture of us together. We'll get one next time. I still think you're AWESOME!

Old McDonald

You might have to turn up the volume for this one.

Happy Birthday, G.G.!

Yesterday, I went to a very special birthday party...for G.G.! Mommy says she is going to turn 65 years old on Tuesday! WOW! I thought 2 was a lot! Remember, G.G., you're only as old as you feel!

Even though I was not feeling well, I didn't let that stop me from enjoying the company of so many family members and friends.

SURPRISE!!!!

Happy Easter!

Yesterday I celebrated Easter. It was AWESOME!

I wasn't too nice to the Easter Bunny the other day. Remember, I threw a bit of a tantrum for my picture with him? Well, he obviously didn't hold it against me because he brought me all kinds of cool treats! He even found me a basket shaped like a dinosaur!



As if that wasn't enough, I got even more loot from all my grandparents. G.G. put a little bottle of ketchup in my basket because she knows I love it so much. And Grandma and Grandpa Marshall got me this awesome Toy Story cup. I think it's so funny when you press the button and the straw pops up.


I got a Toy Story chair, too!


The Easter Bunny hid some eggs in my yard. I had fun finding them all.



Thanks to Aunt Lindsey for the awesome sidewalk chalk. At first I didn't know what it was. They're shaped like eggs so I tried to bite into one.


Parrain and Aunt Kristi brought me even more stuff. I liked this basket: I found jellybeans inside!


G.G. let me have a cupcake and it was so good that I asked for more...and she gave me another! Aren't grandparents awesome!


As if 2 cupcakes weren't enough, Grandma gave me ice cream! It all stuck together in one blob on my spoon so I had to lick it like an ice cream cone.


G.G. taught me how to get every last drop.


I was so full on sweets that I refused to eat my dinner.

I had a great day, and I hope you all did too! Happy Easter, everyone!

Easter Egg Hunt

On Friday, I went to my very first Easter egg hunt. I got to spend the day with Ava and her family. It was such a blast!

At first, I wasn't sure about all these strange, new people, and I wouldn't let Mommy put me down. But she knew just the trick: We ate some lunch, and then I was ready to go!

I joined the big boys who were playing around before the hunt. They were racing each other, and I joined in. I just love to say "3-2-1 Goooooo!"

When it was time to hunt the Easter eggs, it didn't take me long to figure out what to do. I found 12 of them! I showed off my manners by sharing my eggs with another boy, and putting one of mine in his basket.

Then, it was time to examine my loot. I got distracted though, because I noticed Ava had already managed to crack open one of her eggs, and it was full of jellybeans! I hope she didn't mind that I swiped a few. She thought it was funny when I tried to chew so many at once that I had jellybean juice running down my chin.

Thank you, Mrs. Robyn, for inviting me to come along with Ava, Jon-Jon, and the family! I hope we do it again next year!

Enjoy the pictures!
