Family Outing

We took Brigid to the zoo on Saturday morning, and I was planning to do some on-the-spot outfit shots, but the outing went by a little quicker than I expected. So I was left with this...


That would be me trying to convince B that the big monkey statue wasn't as scary as she seemed to think it was. She totally wasn't buying it, though.
She was, however, perfectly ok with the mommy and baby monkeys on the other side of the patio...


Love that kid!

Tank Top: Gap (outlet)
Shorts: Ann Taylor (outlet)
Shoes: Old Navy
Purst: H&M

PS: I normally prefer to wear something a little more substantial, shoe-wise, on these outings, but last week's trip to the golf course kicked my butt, and I haven't really been able to wear shoes with backs since then. The blisters, they are there. 


It was totally worth it, though. My favorite golfer happened to be playing with one of Steve's favorite golfers, so we followed them for their first couple holes, took a break for breakfast at the hospitality tent (with complimentary bloody marys, of course), picked them back up for the rest of their round, then went back to the tent for lunch. After lunch, we parked ourselves at the green of one hole to watch all of the afternoon groups come through.


I kind of wanted to go back again...

  5. I think we have those exact same monkeys at the Audubon Zoo! =)

    Your golfing excursion sounds like so much fun! I want to follow my favorite golfer around... Wait, I don't have one, so maybe my favorite actor? I wonder if Orlando Bloom has time for me. ;)
