Monday mornings @ the ZOO

For the past several months, the girls and I have spent most of our Monday mornings at the Riverbanks Zoo.  As most of you know, my cleaning ladies (whom I adore!) come to our house at 8am Monday morning each week.  Lily has The Little Gym at 11:30, so this leaves us with 3 1/2 hours of time to kill!  We usually go out for breakfast (this morning was IHOP for the funny face pancakes) and then head to the Zoo.  I have come to love this 3 1/2 hours.  I no longer dread having to get both girls up, dressed and out the door so early after a long lazy weekend.  It has become our special time together and I look forward to it each week. 
Here are some pictures of our time together this morning:
