My great friend Patty came to visit last week, while our husbands drove out to lovely Colorado for an outdoor adventure. Not to say we didn't have an adventure of our own, as life with Piper can so often be. Patty accompanied us to the St Louis Zoo, which was Piper's first zoo experience. We shared a few embarrassed laughs as we gradually realized it was mating season. Piper most enjoyed the big cats and the monkeys. Though she didn't have much interest in the zoo experience, it was worth visiting. We had nice weather all week, which took us to the local pool and spray park, where Piper overcame her fear of water shooting out of things. Though our guest has been gone for a few days now, Piper will still ask me with her palms up, "where Patty go?" Our friends shared with us exciting news of a bun in the oven, to which we say good work! We've been hoping Piper would meet her best friend someday.
