Ohio Summer Vacation

               Well, Parker Ann and I made it to Ohio Thursday evening after flying most of the day.

                            

                                                                             Plane ride!

                                     And boy were these two cousins happy to see each other...

                            

                               We went out to dinner and threw money in the fountain, of course!

                           

                           

Friday morning we hit the floor running by packing a picnic lunch and heading out to the Cleveland Zoo for the day.

                           

Look how BIG Andrew has gotten!  He's sitting up and crawling and saying, DaDa, MaMa AND YaYa!

                           

    These two girls decided they HAD to match for their Zoo Day.  These swan dresses by Taylor Joelle were perfect for the occasion!

                                       

The water feature where children can play is one of my favorite areas in the zoo.  I think it was a favorite of theirs too.

                            

    And right outside the gate of the water feature was a face painting station. Of course, we had to get faces painted.

                              

                                                                       We all rode the train...

                              

                                                                              AND...a camel!

I must say that it was a great, relaxing day with Caitlin and the kiddos.  It was nice to get outside where the weather was SO much cooler than at home.  I'm hoping it won't get very hot while I'm here. Do you think that's asking too much?!  It is summer after all.
