The Zoo

Yesterday Matt's sister Shawn, brother-in-law Mike, and our nephews (Jay's first cousins) Alex and Joshua came to visit for the weekend! We had so much fun with them!

While Jay took his morning nap yesterday I packed all of us a picnic lunch. When Jay woke up we all left to go to the zoo. We took our picnic lunch inside the zoo and found a table and promptly had a bite to eat before venturing off to see all the animals.

Then we set off to see....
Penguins
Tiger
Sleeping Grizzly Bear
Bald Eagles
Hippos
Giraffe
and many, many, many more animals


Here are a couple photos I took of the boys.

After the zoo we stopped at Cold Stone Creamery for an ice cream treat followed by dinner at Panera Bread. We were all BEAT at the end of our day, but we had a great time.

We all met up for church this morning and then enjoyed lunch together before they got on the road to go home.

Mike, Shawn, Alex, and Josh - thanks for making the trek up here this weekend! We so enjoy spending time with all of you and we're already looking forward to our next planned get-together!

We enjoyed our time together too! Glad you guys got some time to chill on Sunday as well. We stopped at Cabella's on the way home to see all the stuffed animals they have there-it was like another zoo experience! We were home by 6:30 or so. Thanks again for taking such good care of us!
