Lions, and Tigers, and Bears - Oh MY!!!

We finally went to visit my brother Scott and his wife Logan in Jacksonville! We spent the entire weekend there and it was so wonderful to get to spend time with just them and us!!! The highlight of the weekend was certainly our trip to the Jax Zoo - it was great!

Here are some pics from the weekend.....



We forgot the booster seats so we made-do with Scotty and Logan's swiveling barstools- Alden and Carson loved them! Logan got this cute shot of them when they woke up on Saturday morning.


Then it was off to the ZOO!!! Carson and Alden checking out the amphibians!

Our little family enjoying the HOT weather!

Alden and Uncle Scott walking through the zoo (really, the strollers were a waste!)

Carson and Daddy - enjoying a snack while watching the animals.

Carson with Aunt Logan and Uncle Scott (again, David and I were pushing the empty strollers) :)

After a long day at the zoo, we came home, napped, shopped and then went to dinner.

Carson and Alden playing with their Aunt and Uncle before dinner.

The next morning, after a nice trail walk, we decided to come back and let them play with the hose in the yard. This "game" consisted of Uncle Scott spraying them with the hose while they ran in and out of the water.

Having so much fun! A perfect way to tire them out before we headed back to Tally.

Alden was having a blast!

When we got back home, we dropped them off with Mimi and Grandpa while we unloaded the cars and got settled back in. They played outside in the fountain!

Carson with his head in the fountain :)

Then, we headed to the museum and took a ride on the "Boose!!!" as they call it!

They loved to run up and down the corridor! Check out Alden's Jimmy Hendrix shirt (courtesy of Laura and Will!)

And disembarking the Boose, notice Carson's ACDC Shirt too :)

Back at home, we are working on our utensil skills :)

They are so proud of themselves as they eat their applesauce. Carson has nearly perfected his CHEESE smile!

And Alden was very happy to show off while eating with his spoon as well!
