Cousin time and a trip to the Zoo

It's always fun when Sarah comes, when Sarah comes, Hoo-ray!
Seriously, though.  My kids can't get enough time with their cousins.  Sarah decided to jump in the car and head over for a little fun in the Arizona sun (although it wasn't hot this week at all.)  Austin was planning to take the Arizona bar and so over they came for a visit.  It was a week of playtime, and Max was happy to have some companions to play with.

One of their favorite stops was at the San Tan Mall where they got to ride the little kid rides - and we even put money in to make them go around.  They were more than excited to ride these.  it was a rare treat.


 And of course, we had to stop at the puppy store and play with all the puppies.
 They even joined us with a day at the Phoenix Zoo with the 1st grade.
The day was beautiful and warm as we walked around the zoo trying to keep up with Lizzie and her chaperone.  Max was more than excited to be treated like a big kid with Lizzie and enjoyed the day hanging out with his cousin, Carter.
 It was fun to see these girls have so much together running from cage to cage enjoying the animals.
 And these silly boys just playing the day away
 Yee-haw cowboys!
 I think the most exciting animal was the lion.  I tried to get the all to growl like the lion, Luke was the only one who indulged me.  Love you, Luke!
 And this little girl is just too cute for words.  I love being her mom and being able to spend time with this little monkey.




 Thanks for spending the week with us Sarah, Austin, Luke and Sam!  It wouldn't have been the same without you!
