Zoe with a violent E.

For Zoe's 5th birthday, she decided to mark the occasion by changing the way her name is pronounced. It used to be pronounced with both vowels long. Now only the O is pronounced. Caly asked if it was still spelled the same way, or was spelled Zo. She told us that it's still spelled Z-O-E. But the E is violent.

Here are the zoo pictures. We had a great time even though we didn't really see many animals. We went to the Knoxville Zoo in Tennessee and they have a marvelous play area. We hung out there for a few hour and only saw the animals adjacent the that. But we went ahead and bought a year-long membership so we'll be back to see the others.

My how she has grown! She wasn't even one when this picture was taken.

P.S. As soon as we got home we read "If I Ran The Zoo" by Dr. Seuss and then she wanted to play Putt Putt Saves the Zoo on the computer. If you haven't played any of the Putt Putt games, you should try them. They're so much fun for little kids. Plus I just love the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo song. I can't get it out of my head today.
