My little artists

The art easels that Jaden and Morgan received for Christmas from Jeff's family have been an exciting addition to our home school experience. As you can see, they have been letting their inner artist out of its shell!

Saying Goodbye

We met up with Jeff and the crew one last time at Jason's Deli. Then, we had to say goodbye. They are now safely back in California. It was fun while it lasted. Next time, maybe we can go to California!

The girls share their toys with the other girls

Maggie with her daddy Uncle Jeff

Jaden did a magic trick for Uncle Jeff. Now, Uncle Jeff is doing one back to her. It was hilarious! Too bad I didn't record it as a mini-video!

Maggie & Morgan decide to hug, and hug, and hug...

After living in this house for over 4 years, this is the first time that my brother Jeff and his family have ever come to visit. My girls (Jaden & Morgan) had fun sharing their toys with Jeff's girls (Emma, Bridget & Maggie). Yes, we both had nothing but girls! (so far anyway...) Jeff, Anne and their girls are now already back in California. Hopefully it won't take another 4 years before we see them again!

An African safari on a monorail

Still at the zoo, we hopped onto the monorail to view the animals from Africa.

Wading in the lazy river

The other great part of the zoo is the little water trail that the kids can play in. I didn't think it would be open, since it is fall. However, fall in Texas could be anything from 30 degrees to close to 90 degrees. That day it was in the 80's and very pleasant. All of the kids had fun with their cousins!

A day at the zoo

We took a trip to the zoo. It was a beautiful day!! You can see that the children had a lot of fun!
