Huntsville

We moved to Huntsville right after Thanksgiving. We were able to find and purchase a house and I love it! It's so much fun decorating and having our own space. Otto loves his job and Maddie and I like it so far. Talk to me after the summer...

 What do you do when all your toys are packed up? Play with the Drain-o!

ROAD TRIP! (First to Iowa for Thanksgiving)

 Hey, if you're a good baby you get rewarded with a Slim Jim. Thems the rules.

Maddie and I spent a lot of time in the hotel before we closed on the house. It wasn't too fun so we tried to get out as much as possible. This is the Bridge Street Mall. We have an Anthropologie AND an H&M. What else do you need?

 Lunch date with mom!

There is this "zoo" called Harmony Park where you pay and get to drive around amongst all these animals. I think it was 7 bucks for both of us. If you want to feed them you can, but I opted to not have open windows while trying to watch Maddie by myself. She looks like she cares about the zebra standing right outside her window but she was more excited she got to sit up front out of her car seat. Maybe she will enjoy it more when she is older. We were the only ones there that day so we stayed for a while.

 At the end they have a places to look at caged animals like a few monkeys and there is a building full of reptiles. Oh, and there are peacocks walking around.

 Nothing much to do in the hotel room but lounge around.

Maddie fell asleep as soon as I drove all the way to this huge, cool playground. It's ok though because a few minutes later they called and we finally got the keys to the house!
