Friday Night's Family "Date" Night!

So what did you do last night? Really? That sounds like a lot fun.
We went to see Jack Hanna !!!
Nana, Memaw, Brandon, and the Lanford clan all saw a wonderful little animal show by Jack Hanna in Fayetteville.
It was a little too long for Cailyn, but Carys enjoyed the animals. (And the snacks from the concession stand!)

Carys & I cheesin' as we wait for the show to start...
We were only 8 rows back, so we got a great view.
He was extremely personable and very nice when we talked with him.

There were a lot of animals, but I won't bore you with them all.
Here are our favorites:

Armadillo!

Cheetah - oh my, it was gorgeous!
Flamingos! Cailyn...starting to get bored.
Nana took her out of the auditorium for most of the show.
Hee. Memaw gave Carys a Cow Tail...you know, the candy?!?!
Well, Carys was afraid to eat it - she thought it was a real cow's tail. Silly girl. She quickly got over it once I told her I was going to eat it if she didn't. Man, those are my favorite!And my baby, ahem, big girl.
She looks so grown when I pull her hair back.


Today, we went to my Papa's annual fly-in in St. Pauls.
Nikki - I totally spaced & didn't think about telling you we'd be so close until we drive by Cypress...and I didn't have your number. Chad's my witness - I felt terrible!

Anyway - there are no pictures of the fly-in because I left the camera in the van and didn't want to go get it...but we ate, played, talked & had a lot of fun. And the girls got to see a lot of airplanes. It's been a great weekend - so far! ;)

Skye can Cailyn's face be any prettier??? Looks like a great time with the animals. I can totally tell why Carys had a good time.

Never had a cow's tail,but they do sell them my way!!

Matt wanted to see Jack Hanna...He'll be jealous that you guys went. That is so weird that you had the fly-in Sat...when I picked Matt up from the airport Friday, for some reason, I mentioned the annual fly-in you guys have (even though I thought it was held @ the wonderful Gray's Creek Airport-ha!ha!) I would have loved to have seen you guys...maybe next year! At least you thought about me! :)
