PA and Maddie's FIRST BIRTHDAY!!

For Maddie's 1st Birthday, Jeff parents (Nana and Pap Pap) flew us out to stay with them in beautiful Reedsville, PA for a week. We had a nice party on Memorial Day with my mom, Maddie's great grandma, Uncle Luke and Aunt Kim and cousin Nora. It was practically the only day we had nice weather and it was much appreciated!

The Zoo

We spent last week in PA, but the week before we left we had some lovely, lovely weather. I decided to get out of The Woodlands and drive into Houston to visit the Zoo. Maddie was teething and slightly miserable. Her favorite experience was playing in the mulch. (ugh) I did manage to get her to make some animal noises and I think she enjoyed the experience overall.

yay for meerkats!!


the petting zoo was really quite nice


rrrraaaaaarrrrr


...and I leave you with Maddie's favorite part of the zoo

Landry's Update

It pays to complain! After writing Landry's a nasty note, we received a $50 gift certificate to any Landry's Inc. restaurant! Luckily that encompasses a steak house. I'm just not sure I want to go to their seafood place again. Too greasy. But kudos to them for taking me seriously!
