Cousin Zoo Trip

Yesterday we met, Granny, and Shannon, Mike, Juliet, Jadyn, and Eli at the zoo. We were nervous that the weather was going to be very crummy, but it turned out to be a great day. Riley and Jadyn had so much fun being together and checking everything out. They started their day on the carousel and went 2 times in a row...they wanted to go a 3rd, but the rest of us wanted to see some animals. The big destination of the day were the dinosaurs. Jadyn LOVES dinos and she was in heaven. After the dinosaurs, the girls decided to get some tattoos, which you can see in the pictures. Jadyn chose a dinosaur and for some reason Riley chose a parrot...who knows why she chose this. The rest of the day was spent checking out the animals and just having fun hanging out with the cousins. We all had a great day and Riley was supposed to continue the fun with a sleepover, but chickened out at the last minute. It was a still a great day though and we even ran into Grammy and Papa Bruce. They are volunteers at the zoo on Wednesday afternoons and they were hard at work. It was a nice treat to get to see them as well. Thanks for a great day Granny and the Gurley's!!

Here are few more pictures from Riley's actual birthday too. We clebrated throughout the day with her. First it was a candle on her pancakes and breakfast and these pictures are from her cupcake with candle after dinner. She was enjoying all the candle times. She is getting very good at blowing them out. There are also a few of her on the phone with Kelsey. She looked too grown up on the phone and I just could not resist. I think we are in for it when she becomes a teenager:)
