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!

Cheer up their day

I came up with this smiley face snack when Jaden & Morgan seemed to need some cheering up. It lifted their spirits immediately! It only took some crackers and some marshmellows!
