Weekend with cousin

Jared's brother and his family moved to Boise from Sacramento a few weeks ago. Lisa called Tuesday and asked when we could come up and see them. Because of Jared's busy summer schedule we really only had a weekend in Aug. and then not another one till mid Sept. So instead of waiting to see us in Sept. Lisa asked if they could come visit this weekend, which they did. The kids had a fun time with their cousin Makale. It will be so nice to have a cousin live closer to us. This is Makale who is just a week older then Savannah.

Lisa and I took the kids to the zoo while Jard and Jeremy spent some quality brother time together. They went golfing and checked out the army surplus store.

This duck has a blue bill. Out of all the times we have been to the zoo in that past few months, I don't think I had seen it before.

We tried to get a photo of all three on the lion but Savannah slipped off pulling Makale down with her. This was the best I could get.

This picture is for Matthew. He says he has never seen a tiger before and when we took him to the zoo last weekend he was so excited to see the tiger. Unfortunately the tiger was sleeping in the shade of his den and we were unable to see him. Sorry about that Matt, maybe next time.

After the zoo we went to the river for a picnic. Daddy and Uncle Jeremy were supposed to meet us there but they were running a little late. This is a picture of RJ calling Daddy to tell him to hurry up.

Playing in the water along the side of the house. Notice how Makale and Savannah are sitting the exact same way, classic!
