Niece & Nephew from Back East

Greg's sister Adrienne and her family have lived back east for the past 5-6 years. Maybe more. She has two kids and the newest one I haven't even met, and she's over a year old! They came to stay with my in-laws for a few weeks while her husband was out of state for business. They made a trip down to Logan for a weekend so we got to spend time with them.

It was really good to see them. I hate that I don't have any nieces or nephews super close. My closest is still 2.5 hours away. It would be so much nicer if they were just in Logan.

Laura, Annie, Adrienne and the kids came to Logan on Friday night, and came over to our house where we ate, and played with LEGOs.

I became quite good at playing with LEGOs. I had no idea who have the people Jax was talking about when we were playing, but he doesn't need to know that, right? Fake it 'til you make it!

Saturday we went to Wal-Mart to get a little shopping in. I snapped this picture of Greg & Breklin, and still feel like he looks like he may have kidnapped her, and they are looking over their shoulder to make sure they aren't being followed. (I definitely watch too much TV)

 

After Wal-Mart we headed over to the Willow Park Zoo. Y'all should know by now how much Greg and I love the zoo. All the birds, and wildlife you could see out your backdoor in Wyoming. Always good times.

They had a "petting zoo" that held about 10 or so goats.Breklin enjoyed it, but Jax wanted no part whatsoever in it.

Jax did enjoy feeding the ducks, though. That's always the highlight of the zoo for the littles.

It's always good to see these people. We don't get to see them  near enough. Like I said, we haven't even met Brek until this weekend, and she is 1+ years old. Crazy, right? I keep telling Greg we need to go visit them every now and then!

Zoo Fun

Back when my sister and her kids were still at my parents they came down to Logan to see us one more time before going home. We went to lunch at Chick-fil-A, then Greg and I took the kids to the zoo. We had a lot of fun. Those kids are so goofy! (Also, these pictures are completely out of order, but it's all good.)

If you didn't know, Logan has a zoo. Not even kidding. It's full of birds, and ducks, and basically any animal you would see in your backyard in Wyoming! It's not very big, but Greg and I enjoy it, so we took the kids and just had a lot of fun. These two are crack-ups, and Lilli is so dang smart. She knew things about the animals that even I didn't know.

It was pretty funny watching these kids do this jump. They are too funny.

I think this was my favorite part of the day. I posted a super cute video on instagram a while back, but being the good aunt & uncle we are, we spent about $1.00 to buy some duck food for the kids. They had fun feeding the baby ducks and trying to pet them through the fence. It's so funny what little kids find entertaining. Their laughs were the greatest!

Basically every photo I try to get of Greg & I....

There is also a park right next to the animals that the kids had fun playing at.

We were watching the turtles, and one of the turtles got really close to the fence. Alex was trying to reach through the fence to touch it. Greg told him that if the turtle bit his finger, we'd have to cut off his finger. This was his face.

He really did have fun.

Me & Alex. He was so funny because he kept saying, "I'm so bored!" But then when his mom came to get him, he started crying. He mostly wanted to go back to our house to fill up on junk food! But it was a lot of fun spending time with the kids. They live too far away and I don't get to see them near enough!
