Fun at the zoo

So, I trekked with my kiddos armed with my Jussley and drinks and snacks to a local Zoo. It was very busy as the weather was warm and sunny. We caravaned around with a few friends from church and their little ones. I alternated taking out a twin at each exhibit and they loved looking at and pointing to the animals. Among the highlights were white owls, monkeys of various kinds, and mountain lions! We finished our viewing of the animals on a train ride through the part of the zoo we didn't see while walking around. We had a great time. It was especially neat to see the babies take in this experience for the first time. As you can see from their smiles, they had a great time! Thanks for thinking of it, Sarah! Thanks for coming along Juss! It was a fun b-day outing for me:)

love this one

Abby and I have a similar pic like this from when we were about the same age, except we were on a grassy hill and both wearing hooded sweatshirts so you can't tell who's who:) It's in the collage, but I wanted to put it up on its own:)

at the park

Because my fabulous MIL took Owen, I got to do something special with the babies. We tried out a new park! They were, of course, beyond cute:) Here are just a few snippets.

the great outdoors . . .

Though it causes allergies in some of us, what a wonderful thing to arrive at Spring . . . unexpectedly, we enjoyed beautiful sunshine this afternoon and took advantage by playing outside before naps. Judah loved going down the slide all by himself. Layna enjoyed striking poses . . . as usual. The other girl in the picture(s) is Abby Kaiser. She came over for awhile today and we had a great time:)
