Bayou Wildlife Park

With Auggie out of town for his best friend's wedding, Evangeline and I decided to go to the Bayou Wildlife Park in League City with two of my friends and their daughters. This place is a weird mix of petting zoo and wild animals and Evie LOOOOOOOVED it. I think she would have been happy to spend an entire week there. It completely made appauling traffic on 1-45 worth while. Note to self. . . get an EZ Tag for the new car.
Part of the entry fee included a pony ride. Evie was brave and went all by herself.



She loved all of the animals but was weirdly obsessed with the alligators. We had to go and look at them a LOT.


It was a great day!

We're also happy that one of Evie's new words for the weekend is "sorry". She's definitely a Brit now :-)

Evie update

As Nana pointed out to me yesterday, I am way way way behind on this blog! So, here we go.

We're rubbish parents and don't have many recent photographs. But here are a couple . . .


New Year at Nana's


Merry-go-round at Katy Mills ( Evie loooooved this!)

What has Evangeline been up to?

Her new favourite game is the cuddle game. You walk over to Daddy with a huge smile on your face and give him a cuddle, then walk over to Mummy with a huge smile on your face and give her a cuddle. Repeat at your leisure. We don't mind this game at all!!

Evie talks ALL the time. She likes to say "please" and point at things in the hope that the magic word works every time. It usually does! She also likes to say "Kiss" "cat" "alice" "bear" "Safia" and "balloon" among others.

Bath time is still Evie's favourite time of the day. Our least favourite is taking her out of the bath and the fussing that comes with it. I think Evie would stay there all night given the opportunity. Equally fun is discovering that farting in the bath makes bubbles (fun for Evie, that is :-))

I am determined that we will take some more photographs of Evie over the next week so I can post some more. Until then . . .
