Cousin Trip to the Zoo

We were super excited to get to have Anna for a day, and we decided to go to the zoo. 

In the car, and ready for a fun-filled day!

We opted for the Folsom Zoo. It was closer, and cheaper, tho definitely smaller. Still, we had a good time.

Such a cute face!

Anna's got what we call the "Heather hunch" because she just got told she couldn't run off without us.
These 2 certainly kept us busy!

Watching the tiger 

The peacocks were pretty awesome. This one was trying to flirt with another little girl nearby.

Gotta love animal watching.

Bears

Trying to be scary bears

Anna got down and wanted to crawl like a bear

Brek joined her

We enjoyed the places where we could see the animals up close

Don't remember what they are pretending to be here.

Of course, we had to put faces in:

Then, just outside the zoo is a little steam engine. Brek has been wanting to ride a train ever since we moved to Nebraska and we see them so often. So Grandma thought this would be a fun thing to do while we visited.

Waiting for the train to come

So cute!

Even cuter!

I love how Brek is looking at Anna here.

Hands up!

After the train ride, we went and made a stop at the Sacramento Temple. This is where Joe and I were married, along with Anna's Dad, my big brother Mark, and his wife Eliana. Mostly the kids just played in the water a little bit. But still fun to see the temple.

We went home for lunch, and naps. We had planned to head to the park after nap time, but both kids slept for over 3 hours, so Anna had to go home before we could get there. Still, they enjoyed some fun-sized popsicles that Grandma bough.

A little sass

Yep, he's got a big mouth

Well, definitely a fun day, and we were so happy that Anna got to come and play with us. It's so nice that they get along now! Horray for cousins!
