2012 Zoo Day With The Walters Family

We had a lovely family day at the zoo with The Walters Family.  Sean, Nia, Mason and Leila joined us this year.  The kids had a great time and Mommy got to take more pictures of lions.  Man, I love lions!  The weather was great, which was a nice change for us.  Mason, Riley, Leila and Van all get along very well.  Plus, it's nice to have friends that are in the middle of "Terrible 2's, 3's, 4's and 5's." along with Dave and I.  It reminds us that we are not alone. 

Lake 2012

This was a kinda annual trip to the my brother's lake house in Oklahoma.  We plan to go every year but it doesn't always work out.  My Mom and Don weren't able to join us this year because of Grandma Gina's knee surgery, but they'll be back next year.  This was Van's first trip and he loved it!  He loved to drive the boat...vroom vroom.  Riley went tubing and had a blast.  It's always nice to get together with my brother and his family.  Riley adores her cousins, Trent and Allyson, but she hardly ever gets to see them.  We had a great time and we'll back next year.....if my brother can stand us all again!
