Zoo Time

We enjoyed some pretty weather here today and made the most of it with a trip to the zoo. We go to the zoo a good bit, but I hardly ever take the camera (it just doesn't seem that important with all the other things we must drag along with us) but since Nae was there today I did get a few shots.

Gabe and Mya checking out the Red River Hogs (one of their favorite exhibits.)
This is how Alena spent most of the trip - sound asleep on Nae's back.
Another Red River Hog shot - funny that most of the pictures I took were of their backs. Who wants to look at the camera when there's so many animals to see?
Gabe pointing to a duck, I believe.
My little pigtail girl.
Alena did wake up towards the end of our trip - here she is relaxing in the stroller.

Amy, it's a Mei Tai I ordered from this website: http://www.meitaibaby.com/
a couple of things about it:
-you can wear it in the front or back which I really like (and I think it's more comfy than the bjorn for front carrying but they can only sit facing in)
-to do the back carry they have to be sitting up really well and fairly tall Alena is just now big enough to do the back carry
-it takes a good bit of practice (and maybe some help) to get it on well especially for the back carry
-it holds up to 30 some lbs so we used it for Mya this summer and she loved it too. Of course Nae had to carry her since she's a little too heavy for me
-in the summer it would get pretty hot especially for the front carry

Overall I like it and am glad we have it, but it isn't cheap so I thought you'd like some feedback. I enjoy seeing the pics on your blog maybe I'll get to see Drew before he gets too big!
