Zim Family: Gymnastics and The Zoo! September 1st

September 1st!

Summer turned 16 months last week and we did some fun things! She had her first official gymnastics class and thanks to Aunt Lis, our own personal photographer, we got some great pictures.

After Gymnastics we went to the Atlanta Zoo with Summer's grandparents and Aunt Lis!

A great day!

Still can't believe how time is flying. Summer is learning new skills and new words all the time. What a FUN age!

Coming out of the tunnel!

Going into the tunnel!

Summer is getting better and better at the balance beam. This week (9/8) she only needed one my hands for one of them and then was able to do one all by herself!

Swinging on the bar! She got more daring this week when the bar was higher and would really swing back and forth without Mommy's help!

All the little ones love the trampoline. Summer loves to run as fast as she can down it and then jump into the foam pit!

Foam pit!

Reading a book about the zoo with Aunt Lis before we went to the zoo.

Welcome to the Atlanta Zoo! Aunt Lis is picking her head out of the elephant face.

Summer spotted Aunt Lis!

The sweet Panda Bear!

Summer could see the panda and kept calling it a "Meow Meow." I guess the panda did look like a slightly bigger version of our black and white cat Alexander!

The fun loving swimming otters!

Let me look at the map and let you know where we are going next!

Hey there's my Mommy!

This monkey was just at Summer's height and she loved it. She giggled and pointed and tried to touch him. It was really sweet!

Choo-Choo train time!

The petting zoo was also a big hit! Summer just ran around like she owned the place. Luckily it wasn't crowded at all that day at the zoo so she had full rein of the place. The weather was also really good. It's been so hot and humid but finally it is starting to cool down a bit!
