Absecon lighthouse and cape may zoo

Laura, kt, alexis, and I climbed the absecon lighthouse yesterday. Took us forever to figure out how to say it until the lighthouse keeper helped us - he said "there's a beacon in absecon." got it!
matt's not here with us and the lighthouse keeper was just sooo handsome... i couldn't help it!
big girls. ;)
lexi thought she might parachute down. ;)
that red/blue tower through the window is our hotel.
David stayed home with a sleeping laney and 2 tv watching, ring pop eating girls. (:
After our lighthouse adventure we ate lunch and headed to the cape may zoo. It's a cute little free zoo.
Frankie kept saying "I want to see the lion," and then she'd put her hands up like a lion and ROAR. She's my little animal lover. (:
i love giraffes. they might be my favorite.
like the pioneers before us we walked, and walked, and walked.
everyone had a buddy.
long-neck turtle swimming.
addie was having a little bit of a rough day.
time out.
with a little tlc she was fine.
zebra's are irresistible. ;)
'da girls.
and all 'da girls.
minus delaney.
cause d hung out (or on) with david all day.
she held off for a long time but finally crashed after about 2 hours.
gymnast addie.
when we were in outer banks matt promised everyone that if they could say only nice things for 15 minutes, he would get them ice cream. then we never got a chance, so i made good on his promise at the zoo.
after the zoo we let the little girls ride the carousel. 
love how happy they are!
then frankie made nice with the bears.
"cheese!"
one hand always on the bear.
on the way home we hit the good ol' golden coral. i know a lot of people don't like buffets, and yes, they are kind of gross, but they remind me of growing up and i love them. this was a fancy gc that served cotton candy.
then when we got home the girls climbed all over the windowsill.
the end.
