Cousin Zoo Date

No fevers since Saturday meant our cousin play date was on for today.  Dane and Stella had never been to the zoo and the 35 degree temps weren't stopping us.  After being shut up in the house all week, these kids needed to run.  One perk of being brave enough to challenge the cold is that there was absolutely no one else at the zoo!

The new elephant habitat is near completion and the kids are so excited to see how many new elephants we will get to fill it.

There is something about spending time with my cousin Ethanni.  She just gets me.  When we were little, our mommies made sure to help solidify a bond between us that no one could ever break.  We are trying to do the same with our kids.  Being so close(5 births in 6 years) is exactly how we were born with our brothers and my sis.  It's so fun to see their eyes light up when you tell them that it is a cousin day.  May they always love each other this much!
