Does Life Get Any Better...

A day spent at Como Zoo with 3 of the girls' most favorite people...their cousins!

Hayley and Emily soaring through the air on their magic carpet.

Grace zooming along in none other than a blue car.

Jensen cruising the streets in his yellow jeep...WATCH OUT!
Ivy and Grace out for a twirl in their lovely blue (guess who picked that one) teacup.
Finally, Grace, Ivy and Emily out for an afternoon ride in their cool convertible (in the picture it looks blue, but I didn't think it was).
"AHHHH...I'm finally out of my stroller," says Lydia.

A day spent at the Minnesota Zoo...just the 5 of us! Lydia loving the sea otters at the new Russian exhibit.
Daddy and his littlest girl enjoying the wild boars.

Mama and the big girls riding the wagon to the farm. Watch out goats, here we come!

Grace and Emily lovin' on the goats.

Lydia...future goat farmer of America (the goats are shuddering).Daddy and his big girls!

Finally, one of the last things we did was watch this adorable baby monkey and its' mother. It would hardly ever leave her side and she seemed so patient as it tried to jump on her and get under her feet while she tried to walk. Very sweet!

We had a great day as a family. We were there for almost 6 hours! As we were leaving the zoo Grace said to me, "Mom, how come we didn't stay very long at the zoo?"
