ready to start our tour
 We saw LIONS,
 TIGERS,
 and BEARS (oh my!)
 a siamong monkey that looked like he was pouting because he was in time-out!
 the sweetest koala bear
 Cooper trying to get a closer look
 Next, we went to the bird exhibit.  We bought each of the kids a cup of nectar to feed them~and the birds were not shy about eating!
 these two birds were nice and shared
 the birds decided they liked me!
 they REALLY liked me
 a Cockatoo (they're native to South America!)
 Cooper rode a pony (Reagan didn't want to)
 checking out the farm exhibit
 we fed the goats
 zebras
 a huge aligator
 Cooper's favorite ~ the giraffes
 we fed them lettuce

To Work, Doctor & Play

Cooper's school was closed today and he had a follow up doctor's appointment, so he spent the morning at work with me!

here we are at one of my doctor's offices ~ Cooper was a big hit at breakfast!
 because he had to get BOTH arms stuck today, Cooper got 2 balloons  (He did great again today, no crying!)
 orange for Tennessee of course ~ Go Vols!
 I was trying to get a picture of both his arms, but he just wanted to watch cartoons ~ thus the pouty face!
 Cooper and I picked Reagan up a little early from school, met our friends and then went to get Greg at his office.  We drove to Columbia, SC and had dinner...
 then went swimming at our hotel.  This was the first time Reagan and Cooper had stayed in a hotel.
BIG ADVENTURE IN STORE FOR TOMORROW!

Bicycle Practice

We spent more time this evening riding bicycles.  Tonight, Reagan learned how to turn around and get started from a standing position...she's still working on learning how to stop!!



 Cooper tested out his photography skills
 he wanted us to take pictures of each other
 he liked to take pictures of Reagan too
 enough pictures, let's ride
 the race is on!
 Cooper says putting the strap over his chin makes him go "super fast"
