My brothers Jonathan and Nathan came for a short visit to Michigan a couple of weeks ago. Jonathan had mentioned awhile back that he hadn't been to a zoo since he was a kid. So we took him. Even though I had just been there a week before with Spencer and Kaya, it was still a ton of fun. And the kids LOVED having their uncles along.
I had to include this photo even though Kendall and Kaya aren't looking at the camera because it is so rare that Jonathan will look at a camera much less smile for it!
Prairie dogs again.
And another stop to fee the giraffes.
Having uncles along also encourages our children to do things like get off the authorized walking path and climb into the exhibits that may have been just for show.
We stopped for a little exercise.
And tree climbing.
And African drumming.
We fed and played with the goats.
Went on a little cow ride.
And after all that walking, a foot massage was the perfect ending of a great trip to the zoo.

So fun!
I can't believe you got Jonathan to smile!
Now, if we could just get one like that of Nathan it would be a miracle!
