off to the zoo!

quick family trip to the zoo.





kate and lucy seemed to enjoy their "ride" as much as emma did hers!


and our new favorite part of the zoo is the butterfly house.


except when they fly at your face!

one instead of three

instead of three separate baths, we had just ONE tonight!


it was crazy as you can imagine and there wasn't much room but they all seemed to enjoy it!

beach for six

the babies' first trip to the beach. they weren't quite sure about the sand!


kate.





emma of course LOVED it!!


daddy and lulu on the balcony.


we would drag our new stroller onto the beach and "rock" the babies to sleep. napping was definitely our biggest challenge on this trip but will get easier as they get older!


lucy.






then mimi traded babies.




mimi stayed with the babies upstairs in the condo, while we took emma back to the beach for some pictures.









emma showed us how old she is!


And what the little girls would do in the condo:


lucy - strawberries; kate - stripes.




our sweet aunt susan smocked us MORE dresses. can you even believe it!!??!! the babies have baby carriages {with buttons as wheels!!} and emma has fishes which she picked out on her own and turned out PRECIOUS!!


and when you're sandwiched between two babies, you get your hair pulled.


kate - purple seat; lucy - green seat.




my favorite one!




we attempted a family picture. it wasn't happening!



precious girls.


each and every one.



a great way to start your morning!


and wade and I got to take this angel to the oyster bar while mimi stayed back with the babies!


and even though, lucy and kate never actually swam, I had to put them in their smocked bathing suits. lucy - watermelons; kate - fish.









God bless them.


so thankful for such a wonderful trip!!!
