Picnics and the Zoo

On Friday night we got together with our med school friends at the park. Dave has a good group of friends that he has spent the last 3 years with. In fact, he's probably seen more of them than he has me over the last 3 years! They are good guys and the wives have fun when we get together too. We even spent a month in Europe together 2 summers ago. It will be sad next year when we all go our separate ways. Actually, Aaron (the guy in the red shirt) is going to D.C. in a month for a year of research, so he won't be graduating with them. We'll miss him, but it will be such a fun experience for his cute family.

Anna loves hanging out with lots of friends.


On Saturday we took Anna to the zoo for the first time. She slept through the first half of the trip, but then the elephant spit at us and got her wet, so she woke up. I laughed to myself when we were there thinking of my friend Amy's post about the zoo on her blog. We avoided the monkeys in her honor. Anyway, we went and saw the Albino Alligator or the "Ghost of the Bayou" since it's technically not an albino.
Normally alligators are pretty lame because they just sit there, but this one was special because it's white. It's only 1 of 10 in the world (apparently, but I don't know how they know that for certain) You can kind of see it in this picture. Anna is getting a good look at him. Don't mind the ghost in the picture, it's just Dave. Our camera battery died, so we didn't get many pics, but we had a good time with the hundreds of other people that decided to go to the zoo on Saturday too.

Cute pics! Anna looks so cute in her little hat. And it is sad for us to be dispersing from our law school friends too. But strong bonds are made in grad school and I'm sure you will be keeping in touch with them!

Cute little family! I love seeing Anna grow and watch her learn new things. She has a constant smile and such a fun baby! Keep taking those pictures!

Maybe Aaron's year in DC just gives you guys yet another reason to visit...(we hope)!

We've spent several days at the zoo lately, we should have coordinated better to meet up! Way to go waiting in line to see the albino...I was way too impatient to see it. Anna is getting so big! She is a cutie!
