The Petting Zoo with Friends (that almost wasn't)

Nate and I decided to get together with the babies. We talked about 2 different petting zoos and said, "Yes! Let's meet". Nate called Laurel and invited her too. I guess we didn't say out loud which place we were going because I showed up at one petting zoo and she showed up at another. We were in touch on our cell phones, but no one could find Laurel. Finally we all met up at the same place and Laurel was 30 minutes late (but got there before me) because she thought we were meeting at 11:30 instead of 11:00. The heat must be getting to our brains! Anyhow, it ended up being a lovely (and hot!) afternoon. Enjoy the (MANY) pics!

Wow! These are great pictures! (Except I'm not thrilled with any picture of me!) Thanks for coming to Wheeler Farm and sorry for the mixup. It ended up being really fun!

I can already tell the difference in pictures! Love the camera. I am working on getting Photoshop - then we'll be camera/photo making fools!

Love that little girl!

One more comment- I love the name Maylin. I may spell it Meilin but....there are way too many names to choose from.

Looks like fun. You guys get together so much that your girls will all grow up knowing each other. You can tell Anna hardly ever sees them because at the bbq the other girls would play together but Anna wouldn't. She always recognizes Eliza when we look at your blog, though.

Love, love, love the pigtails on you Miss E. Wish Tess had hair long enough for that. So glad you had fun with your friends.
