Memorial Weekend

For this year's Memorial Weekend, we decided to stay home - partially because we just got home from vacation and we just needed some time to get things together.  One advantage to staying home - was that we were able to spend Saturday with our good friends Ron, Val and their son Seth!  It had been so long since we had seen them and it was just good to spend time with them.  Amelia had some firsts as well - we went to the Farmer's Market and the Como Zoo!

Como Zoo is a free zoo - which is wonderful!  It is very well maintained and a perfect place to go on the weekend with kids. Amelia loved the little monkeys with mustaches!  She did a really good job of following them as they walked around and one even walked in front of her!

Checking out the flamingos! 

Daddy and Amelia by the seals!

Amelia also took her first carousel ride!  Wow - it went round and around - so next time Daddy is going to take her! 

Amelia on Daddy's shoulders!  Amelia thinks she is the coolest girl in the world on top of her daddy's shoulders!  She thinks its so funny to be so high and laughs constantly!  Though the funniest moment, was when Amelia decided to take a bite out of daddy's ear!  The hypothesis is it may have started out as a kiss, but quickly progressed to a Mike Tyson!  Needless to say - daddy was quite surprised.  As I expressed a stern 'No-No we don't bite daddy's ear', her face was the epitome of innocence as her mouth sat half open with daddy's ear still partially still inside!
