Fun at the Zoo

My brother decided a few weeks ago to bring his family up for the weekend.  We had so much fun just hanging out and letting the cousins play.  Luke had lots of Aunt Ashley snuggle time (which they both equally enjoyed) and the boys loved playing with Eli.  The weather was so perfect that weekend so we decided to enjoy it by going to the zoo for the morning.  What a gorgeous day to spend walking around the zoo, the animals were all out and active because it was so cool out and the boys loved seeing all the animals again.

We all enjoyed the zoo!  It was the first time that Danny, Ashley & Eli visited Riverbanks and they enjoyed it so much that we'll have to do it again in the spring!

The big boys loved seeing all the animals.  Luke slept in his car seat for most of our visit, rode in the backpack for a change of scenery and then hung out wide awake in his car seat for the rest of our time.  He was such a trooper considering he was missing his morning nap.

The three bigger cousins... too bad we couldn't get baby Luke in the picture too but this is a great picture of the big boys with their cousin, Eli.

Feeding the animals was probably the favorite for both boys.  Chase figured out all on his own to grab some hay and feed the goats through the fence and Jacob fed the llama food that had been dropped on the ground.  Jacob laughed so hard every time... too bad I didn't have our video camera.  They also enjoyed feeding the giraffe.

On the way back to the car with Aunt Ashley after lots of zoo fun!

Our zoo trip was so much fun and it made it that much more fun that we had Uncle Dan, Aunt Ashley and cousin Eli to share it with!  The boys love spending time with their aunts and uncles.  Thanks Danny & Ashley for bringing Eli up for a visit and loving our boys so much!  We had a blast and can't wait for the next time we can spend a weekend just hanging out and having fun. :)
