Well it's been a busy week with the potty training and then yesterday spending all day in Nashville. We wanted to do something as a family for Matt deploys and we have a zoo membership, so we decided to take Daisy to the zoo. Friends of ours, pictured above, went with us. We first went to Babies R Us, because we don't have one in our hometown, to look at double strollers for after the baby is born. I looked at few. I have had my mind set on the Kolcraft Contours Options Tandem Stroller since I found out I was pregnant, but wanted to sit Daisy in it and see how she fit and all the fancy things on it. I really like it, but while we were there we saw a double, sit-n-stand stroller by Baby Trend. Matt really liked that one and it does have the sit-n-stand part for when Daisy doesn't want to sit in a seat. The Kolcraft one is a bit more expensive than the Baby Trend, so we'll see which one comes out on top.

After Babies R Us we ate lunch at this cute BBQ place that's been open since the 60s. The name of it was Barbie-Cutie. The food was really great as well!! Then finally we headed to the zoo around 1pm. It was pretty hot outside, but I knew Daisy would love all the animals. We headed to the farm animals part which has one cow, one horse, and many goats. It wasn't that great. After that we went to the "bird" greenhouse, which Daisy loves. It has a ton of these little parakeet type birds with lots of bright colors and they fly all over the place and are very friendly. After the birds, we saw the African animals...elephants, giraffes, zebras, etc. While walking to view the elephants from a different area, Daisy had a little accident. She fell on her face and got her first bloody nose, a few scrapes on her forehead and also on her knees. She made it through, but the rest of the day was pretty much a wash. Daisy had been up since 5:15am, had no nap and it was really hot, so around 4:15pm we headed home. It was a pretty good day with the family...tired and all!!!
