Cousins!!!!

Last week my sister and her two kids came to visit, which is particularly fun because our kids are the same ages.  Milo and Savannah play SOOO well together.  It was interesting to observe (and you'll see this in some of the photos) how differently the two kids approach new situations.  Savannah doesn't stop to think twice about something new and tends to charge right in.  Milo, on the other hand, stands back and observes for awhile before jumping in and showing everyone how it's REALLY done.

In the rare moments that Lilah and Caleb were simultaneously awake I was able to capture some fun photos of the two of them.  I love how picture-perfect Lilah is all the time (such a princess) and how drooly and clueless Caleb tends to look (such a boy!)  Caleb, in true boy-fashion, likes to kick Lilah and grab her head.

We kept the toddlers busy by taking them to the Zoo (courtesy of Auntie Kathy...THANK YOU!) and the duck pond, bust mostly they just played outside.  Due to extremely beautiful weather we were able to pull out the water table and even turn the sprinklers on for a few minutes!

Cautious Milo and Daring Savannah enjoy the parrots in typical fashion

Watching the monkeys

I couldn't get both kids to pose at the same time...

...so I settled for just one

at the Tortoise exhibit

Savvy was particularly excited about the Tortoises because we had recently read "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "The Foolish Tortoise"

The kids found The Foolish Tortoise's shell!

It's a Savvy Tortoise!

Most of the zoo animals were sleeping during the time we were there, so we played!

Too cute for words

Picture perfect :-)

Climbing on a spider's web

They're both so beautiful I tend to well up with tears when I see pics like this...I'm not even joking

At the petting zoo...Savvy literally RAN to the animals.  Milo is nowhere to be found.

Caleb just LAAAAUGHED at the animals!  So cute!

What a well-trained goat!

"Choot-Em!!"

Photo Op in front of the Giraffes

Lovely Lilah and Clueless Caleb

Notice the drool.  Lol.

I'm telling you, this girl is ALWAYS picture perfect

Such a boy

Lollipop down time

Is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen?!!!!

Feeding the ducks at the duck pond...Savvy charged right up to the ducks!

Milo hangs back (I don't blame him...some of those ducks are aggressive!!!)

Super Mom!

 

Thank God for Spring time and water tables!

The toddlers weren't aware that it's not QUITE warm enough for the sprinklers

Can you see them shivering?

We did our very best to take a photo of the all four kids smiling.  You're probably laughing out loud right now, right?!  I know.  So instead of showing you a bunch of not-so-great photos I'll just show you a video of the experience.
