A Busy Week

Monkey Business
If you know me, you know that I can't stand staying at home for more than a day. I get bored easily. So I tend to plan "field trips" and activities for me and Tay. This week was super busy, and started with my nephew's birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa Pollard's house. Grandpa Pollard built the grandkids a super cool play house that Tay just loves, and they also have 3 goats and two dogs for Taylor to feed and play with. She had a blast, and was happy to help everyone eat their birthday cake, saying "Bite," as she walked up to us with her mouth wide open like a duck.


We also made use of our season pass to the LA Zoo yesterday, where the funniest thing happened. We were visiting the chimp exhibit, when out of nowhere a chimp comes right up to where Tay was, and starts hitting the window. She thought it was hilarious, and put her hand out to touch it, and the chimp did the same. It was following her as she walked, and trying to touch her through the glass. It was so wierd, and people actually came over and started watching. Tay got a kick out of it, and I was lucky enough to have my camera out.


Today we ventured out to Simi where we went to lunch and a farm with Grandma, Aunt Ashley, and cousin Logan. Taylor had her first pony ride, and neither loved nor hated it. But she did get a kick out of their wooden bus and train.


Tomorrow she's off to the children's museum with Nana, while Mommy takes Daddy to his doctor's appointments. There's never a dull day in the life of Taylor.
