The Zoo with a Friend.

The start of a wonderful friendship.

Izzie was more interested in this big hairy "guy" than the camera.

Izzie appears to be "cheesing" for the camera lately. Don't you love that big toothy grin?


We headed to the zoo on this hot early morning in Columbia, South Carolina. This is Izzie's third, maybe?, trip to the zoo. Oh! I have forgotten how many times we have gone. It might have been her fourth. The zoo is one of Izzie's favorites. We invited Ansley and her mommy Amanda to come with us. This was Ansley's first trip to the zoo. Ansley is Amanda and Bill's daughter. Bill is one of Todd's very good childhood friends. Ansley was born one month almost exactly before Izzie. Follow? Anyways, we all had so much fun. :)
