Lovely Labor Day

This weekend Shane's sister Erin and her family came up from Los Alamos, New Mexico to visit. They came to visit Shane's dad, but since we live here we get the pleasure of spending time with them too! I have GREAT sisters in law, so I really enjoy when I see them! On Saturday, we went to the Zoo. We have a membership, so we get in free and I still had the extra guest passes that we were given with our membership, so they were able to use them and only pay for one child! We had such a wonderful time together even in the big group we had.

Since we didn't get going til late morning, we decided to go grab some lunch. Shane made the executive decision to go to Noodles and Company. We love this place and Erin really enjoyed it as well. Thanks Steve for sitting at the kids table! Erin and I think alike, so we took the place in the corner where no one was at. Grandpa was swinging the kids and Declan instantly liked Vivian.

Corin wouldn't hold my hand, but he held Miriam's to cross the street.

After lunch we were off to the Zoo!

Of course we had to do the How Far Can You Jump?

Inside Bird World.

You can't take strollers inside. Declan was excited to get out of his stroller, even though he was acting content in the stroller. I thought he would throw a fit when it was time to get back in, because sometimes he does, but he did great!

Riding on Daddy's shoulders, he needed to make sure he had a secure grip!

Declan loved it! He was pointing at everything.

A bird came on the path and he wanted to chase after it and catch it!

Corin found a feather on the path

I love this cute picture of Amelia and little Vivian! Vivian is SO tiny and she was stretching on her tipy-toes to see in like all the other kids!

Shoulder rides!
