The first stop was the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
This was one of the few times she stood still.
Here's Anna Grace walking off the path next to a sign that specifically tells parents to control their children and stay on the paths. Oops.
Anna Grace is fascinated with anything containing water. If she gets too close, she says, "I'm soaked!" I think she got that from MeMe.
This is the pensive look of Anna Grace, as she looks back on all the damage she's done.
This is one of my favorite pictures of the girls.
This is where things got weird. Anna Grace kept announcing, "I'm going to my school now." Then she would hang out underneath this gazebo, which was obviously her school. She was quite pleased when a large family with four children walked by and visited her school.
It was getting dark, so we headed out to dinner (where she was amazed at the roaring flames in the open kitchen) and then back to the hotel.
The next morning, Anna Grace took me to the complimentary breakfast in the hotel lobby. She said, "Papa, I really like this restaurant."
Then we went to the Birmingham Zoo. As soon as we arrived, Anna Grace was able to feed the giraffes!
She really enjoyed the butterfly exhibit. A few minutes after this picture was taken, she decided to give one of the butterflies a rock to hold. That didn't end well.
She wasn't sure whether this was Peter Rabbit or the Easter Bunny. Either way, she had to kiss his nose.
She was able to apply the skills she learned while watching her favorite episode of Calliou: "Calliou, the Dinosaur Hunter."
Great picture, eh?
Some -- but not all -- of the animals weren't traumatized by her visit to the petting zoo.
Anna Giraffe!
This was the best $5 mommy ever spent.
Looking sneaky.
We packed a lot of fun into 24 hours!

a girl after my own heart... I can't decide if giving the butterly a rock to hold or kissing "peter rabbit" was my favorite, but I loved all of the pictures. She is truly a joy for you 2!
