The Zoo...and a fat lip!

Today we headed to the zoo with Casey and Jake, Andi, Breyson, Sawyer and Maya (Andi's niece that she babysits). It turned out to be a lovely day for it. It was perfect when the sun was out, a bit brisk when it hid behind the clouds. Breyson, Rowan and Maya were very busy running all over the zoo. Jake was a little worry whort thinking they were going to fall while running because they look so uncoordinated. Luckily that didn't happen. But Uncle Jake was ready to dive and save them if they did. They all got to ride on Uncle Jakes shoulders at some point, and be lifted to see animal after animal too!
 All was well until after we had lunch and took this group photo! When Rowan was getting down from the bench, her face hit the cement before her feet or hands, and we had a bloody fat lip on our hands. She wasn't quite herself the rest of the trip. All she wanted was Mom and her nuk, and was content sitting in ther stroller with her baby! She loosened up a little for the petting zoo, but that isn't always her thing anyway, and these goats were fat and in your face for food. Rowan wasn't so into that!
After the zoo, we made one last stop to visit Nana for about an hour before she headed to pick up Papa from the airport, and then we were on our way home! Rowan really did very well in the car the last two days. Slept on and off, and took her owie like a champ. Luckily it is just very big and bruised with some scabbing. No missing teeth or anything! I didn't get any great pictures of her lip because I was lucky to get her out of my arms for minutes not to mention to pull out the camera. You can sort of see it in the top second from the right picture in the collage of Rowan and Casey!
