Saying Goodbye

We went to Grandma Leslie's and Grandpa Lyale's house to bid farewell to Uncle Bryan, Aunt Amy, James and Paige. They are moving to another state. It is sad to see them go, especially now as the kids are now at an age where they enjoy each other's company :(

The Carousel at the Zoo

Jaden had been on a carousel once at the fair when she was only 2 years old, so of course, she does not remember it. Morgan has never been on one, and I was anxious to see how she would resond because fake animals scare her. As you can see, she had fun and wasn't scared at all. James was on a horse right next Jaden. Aunt amy had to stand next to James, and I had to stand next to Morgan because they were too short to ride alone. It was a great way to wrap up our zoo adventure!

Checking Out the Animals at the Zoo

Fun times at the zoo!

Splashing at the Zoo

This makeshift creek is so much fun! I wish we had something like this when I was groing up. The only this we had was a real creek to play in but it was kind of dirty and had tadpoles in it :o)

James, Paige, Uncle Bryan, and Aunt Amy are leaving for Chicago soon :o( We went to the zoo with Aunt Amy and the kids making it their last visit to the zoo before they leave.

Scooting Around

The girls had fun with their cousins' scooter when we went for a family picnic. This scooter was the hot item in the park. They have never been on a scooter before, but they seemed to do pretty well and were taking turns when they were supposed to. I guess this is something that will be on their Christmas wish list this year.
