Lions, and Tigers, and Bears, OH MY!

Last weekend, Chris, the boys, and I met my sister and family at the A. Zoo. It was so much fun. It's a small zoo, but perfect for a morning trip. All the cousins being there made it so much more fun for Z. After the zoo and a picnic, we followed my sister back to her home (about 2 1/2 hrs away from the zoo). We stayed at her house a couple of nights. While there, we went to this local park with a huge "castle" that is a mother's nightmare, but bliss for kids. Then, while my boys (all three) were sleeping, sis and I went shopping. Oh to have a girls afternoon out with such great company. Later, we went to her gym that has a water park inside. Z was really scared to play on it at first, but dh went down the slide a couple of times and Z thought that was really funny, and before long, Z and his 2 yr old cous were going up and down the slide. Up and down, up and down, up and down, then vomit. Not my boy, but little Iz. Swallowed too much water. We were all then kicked out of the pool so they could clean up. It was close to closing time anyway. Z had a hard time getting to sleep the first night. First we put him in a room with his 4 yr old cous who insists on having music playing and the door open with hall light on. On top of that, sis was having hard time putting Iz down. Z , who's used to dark and quiet, finally got fed up and went down the hall to where Ca was sleeping and shut the door. Them are some loud cousins. It was all so much fun. We love seeing our family and Z loves being around his cousins. Thanks for having us, Camezi!
