Family in town! Zoo & Nature Museum Adventures!

My sister Erin was here visiting a few weekends ago! What a great sister I have! She flew over half the continent just to spend the weekend with us and to help me fly back to CA with all the girlies b/c Kermit would be in NYC for the week. We always have a great time when we get together! She arrived late Thursday night so when the girls woke up in the morning to AUNTIE ERIN they were so excited & were just loving her...(and the couch bed)!
It was a bit soggy that weekend, but it stopped raining long enough that we visited the zoo on Friday afternoon.













On Saturday we had an additional treat! Kermit's mom popped in for a quick 24 hour visit en route to Princeton for the summer! All 7 of us jumped in the minivan and headed to the nature museum! The butterflies as always were a big hit....but this visit was extra special...reptile day! Pythons & Iguanas, etc. Need I say more? No, reptiles are not my favorite but Annaliese and Avrie were very interested and liked to pet and touch them. Adeline & I....we watched from a safe & comfortable distance.

is Avrie playing with a rat in the last picture?!
I love the picture of Addy trying to peek through the ape-display-thingy at the zoo. So funny.

Karyn-
Yup, that's your favorite animal of all time that Avrie is playing with. We were laughing so hard b/c Avrie was taking care of it like a baby doll. Pretty funny and cute!
