Boo in the Zoo!

Once again we took Brooklynn out to the zoo for Halloween. They have what they call "Boo in the Zoo" where you walk through the zoo and get a bunch of treats from different organizations. It's always fun to watch all the little kids that are dressed up. Brooklynn's costume had to be the cutest of all as she went as a little butterfly. She was so proud of her costume.

Our little artist

Mimi took Brooklynn to the Children's Museum and she had quite the time. There was so much to do that she didn't know where to start. We learned one thing that day...Brooklynn loves to paint and it was the one activity that actually stopped her dead in her tracks and had her undivided attention. The wild, crazy girl was all of a sudden the calm, serious, concentrating girl. The setup was really cool because it let the kids paint on a glass wall. I snapped some photos of her through the wall and captured some really great moments.

Making cookies with Mimi!

While Brooklynn is up at Mimi and Papa's, she gets full attention and then some from her grandparents! Monday morning she got to help her Mimi make some cookies from scratch. They must have turned out great because Brooklynn wouldn't stop stuffing them in her mouth.

It's Mimi and Papa time!

Now that we've arrived at Mimi and Papa's house, the fun begins! On Saturday we all went to this pumpkin place in Champaigne, Illinois. Even though it was cold out, Brooklynn had a great time riding her first real pony and seeing all the farm things. More fun to come!

Ohhh so tired...

On Saturday Brooklynn made her second airplane trip up to her Mimi and Papa's house and she did really well considering that we had a stop over in Detroit, then hopped on a plane to Bloomington. Having flown out of Greenville at 6:00am, it was inevitable that Brooklynn was going to crash. I snapped a quick photo of our cute little sleeper.

It's park time again!

Just recently we've been hearing the words "park" and "slide" coming out of Brooklynn's mouth. She just loves the park and luckily there's a great one pretty close to our house. We took her out a couple times this week, and Saturday night I took the camera and snapped some pics. She's a fearless little girl...climbing up and down everything and going down the big slides. She has quite a time!

Dooo-nut, dooo-nut!

On most Saturdays we grab a dozen donuts from a little donut shop near our house that truly has the best donuts in the world. Brooklynn has grown to love the tradition and many times wakes up in the morning asking for "dooo-nuts". Now that she's watching our every move, she has quickly learned to mimic the way her daddy eats his donuts...dipping them in a glass of milk. We thought these pictures captured the moment perfectly as Brooklynn truly enjoys her Saturday morning donuts!
