You wouldn't believe that Abilene could allow for so much fun...especially in just 3 days...but it did! When Matt and I decided to go 'home' on Wednesday night after church, we couldn't wait. We were ready to get away and just relax in the slow-paced, "no worries" town of Abilene, Texas. In the past 3 years especially, Abilene has become our little getaway place. We have free room and board and feel that we can unplug...even if just for a few days.

Here we are at Grammer and Slickpaw's house...just having fun!!!...
Q posing like his Momma...






Yes, that is Q with Syrup-Man! Aren't you jealous that you don't have a picture with Syrup-Man!?


After filling our bellies with pancakes, we went to HSU so Q could practice his new walking skills!(more on that to come) He'd already been to his Daddy's school once, but he was much tinier. (3 months old at camp last summer)... We thought he was old enough now to meet Dam-It! ... His Daddy thought it was a very important moment! :)
This is where Matt and I took our very first picture!







Last, but not least, Slickpaw took Q (and the rest of us, too!) to the Abilene Zoo. They have done so much to make it a great little zoo! Quinn was very aware of all of the animals and we were so excited to watch him experience so much for the very first time. He even wore his monkey shirt for this very special occasion.









And...our favorite part...the giraffes! Abilene Zoo has this cool giraffe bridge that allows you to feed the giraffes and be right with them. I think Q got a little giraffe slobber on his fingers...yuck! We stayed here for a while and enjoyed watching this amazing creature...they are so beautiful!








Dad was making a funny noise and it really got the giraffe's attention. It was hilarious!

What a fun trip we had! Thank you, Grammer and Slickpaw, for having us!

Love all the pic's. Closeup of the pancakes rock, with the blurry background milk carton. The giraffe pic's rock too. Isn't it insane how long their tongue's are. We went to the Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo in Colorado Springs, CO last summer and Luke was tickled pink at the tongues. He giggled and giggled, as did we. Heather
Abilene Giraffe exhibit is the best I've ever seen at any zoo. I think the zoo is a million times nicer than it was when we were kids.
OMG! I LOVE the giraffe pictures!! I've been thinking lately about how I really want to go to the zoo! Especially now that it's such nice weather. :)
