Best Friends

Yesterday we went to Zoomars Petting Zoo in San Juan Capistrano with my dear friend Amanda and her two adorable little girls. We had such a great time! The weather was perfect. Sunny, but not too hot and the kids had such a blast together. Carter LOVES Bella and Abby. He's known them his entire life and just recently seems to recognize them when we get together. He is especially drawn to Bella. Bella is 2 years old and is Amanda's first born daughter. When Amanda was pregnant with Bella, we were both so excited for this baby. We couldn't wait to meet Bella! Both of Amanda's girls are the two of the happiest kids I know. Always upbeat and all smiles. Bella has such an expansive vocabulary for her age and I think Carter really enjoys having "conversations" with her. She is always very gentle and understanding with him because she has a little sister at home the same age. Carter, Bella and Abby will certainly grow up to be best friends. It warms our hearts to watch them all play together. Here are a few pictures from our day at Zoomars.

So handsome!

Carter is SO excited to ride on the train by himself!

They had so much fun on the train!

An attempted group shot...the train conductor scared Abby {hence the tears} and Bella got cut out of the picture! So typical when you try to take a picture of 3 kids after a long day at the zoo :)

I would HIGHLY recommend Zoomars for little ones. It is the perfect size and everything is hands on. You can literally pet and feed all of the animals there. Once, Carter gets a little older, I think he will really love the bunny and guinea pig area. He wasn't quite old enough to understand "gentle", so we moved on to the bigger animals. There is also a small park for the kids to play and benches for us Mamas to chat and catch up. It was a great day and I can't wait to go back!
