SB Zoo

Saturday before Father's Day we took the girls to the Santa Barbara Zoo. It was beautiful weather, and we had such a great day. I never mind driving long distances together because I love the conversations that J and I get to have while they nap. So sweet! Anywho, here are some of our favorite pics:

Check out the new ride... I got the Baby Jogger Double stroller and I LOVE it.... Seriously L.O.V.E. it. Oh, and so do the girls.

 Happy early Father's Day to Daddy... Can you tell this girl adores her Daddy? She had so much fun with him pointing and talking about all the animals. We took her to the LA Zoo when she was 11 months, and oh boy, it was so much fun getting to hear all the commentary about the animals she saw this time.

My loves.

 Here are a few animal pics...

OK. This picture makes me laugh every time I look at it. You can't see it, but I am holding Lindsay and we are looking at the elephants. To me, it looks like I am by myself staring at an elephant butt. LOL

My little monkey

 We ate lunch at Rusty's Pizza Parlor on Balboa street in Santa Barbara, and walked to the park down the street where they had a carosel. We couldn't leave without taking a spin.

 My sweet Maddie girl was SO good all day long... such a little cuddle bug.

After the park we drove down State Street and got to eat some delicious ice cream at Mc Connell's. I had the Salted Carmel Chocolate Chip and Jarrett had their Chocolate Burnt Almond it was the perfect finish to our day... so delish. If you are in SB, you gotta go there and get some!! This was Jarrett's 3rd year celebrating Father's Day, and he never fails to impress me at the amazing father he is to our girls. Lindsay and him have gotten closer (if that was even possible) since Madison has been born, and as soon as she hears the door beep around 5pm, she yells "DADDY HOME!!" and runs to the door for hugs. Mama plays second fiddle to Dad when he comes home bringing his silly songs and rough housing. Madison gives her best smiles and giggles for Daddy, and one of her favorite resting spots is on his chest. It makes me fall in love all over again with him seeing his love and devotion to our girls. You are irreplaceable and the most wonderful Daddy in the world!! Love you! xo
