Ricker and Mim come to visit!

Jeremy's cousin got married last Monday so his family came out to go and we got to hang out with them for a few days. Ashley came down with her fiance too and I took some engagements for them which was a lot of fun. After the engagements we headed off to the zoo!

checking out the elephants

the baby elephant sprayed some water it was so cute!

obviously after spraying water you have to shake your head off

found a tunnel!

checking out the seals! sea lions? I can never tell the difference. I think there's both. We had never seen them because it's a new exhibit!

 

Doing some tricks!

then we went to check out the polar bear. She clearly loves people as she was constantly doing tricks lol

off to see the tigers. I think Aiden was growling here haha

strollers are lame, riding on shoulders is clearly the way to go

 

well until you're just done with it

Taking a break from all the walking to ride the carousel

smushing your face on the pole is awesome

also the lazy version of smushing where your arms hang

 

seatbelt? pshhh please I can get out of that easy

 

attempting to take a picture of almost all the grandkids with grandma and grandpa (we can never get all of them can we? Cameron lives in Washington. HINT HINT MANDY ;P)

this was as close to happy as we got out of the toddlers and baby but still a pretty good shot!

This is when Aiden reached his breaking point. Notice something wrong with this picture?

See it now?

After the picture we had to go back and see the polar bear one more time (it's Dallin's favorite, if you couldn't tell since he chose that as his carousel animal. I don't blame him, polar bears are pretty cool). Here's Aiden doing his bear walk .

After that we rode the train (which mom was too tired to get a picture of. Keep in mind I spent 2 hours climbing all over the place taking engagements that morning. I was pooped!). It was a fun day! I'm so glad we got to see everyone :) It has been a busy few weeks. Now back to cleaning with my energy deprived sick body before the painters come tomorrow. Oi :(.
