We have had a fun couple of days visiting my parents this week. It is such a long drive and they are in Abilene so often that we don't make it down there very many times a year. But we have started making all of our trips in the summer because there are so many fun things to do when the weather is warmer!

The kids did great in the car. They played with toys,

and spent a lot of time singing and dancing.

On our way down, my parents met us in San Antonio for a trip to the zoo.

They definitely enjoyed it more than they did last summer. Mason loves animals right now though. He talked about going to the "big zoo" all the way there. He would say, "we are going to the big zoo to see raffes and lions and zebras and nakes!"

The new Africa exhibit was open this time and now my favorite part of this zoo is seeing the hippo underwater. It was so cool to watch it swimming and floating and see it up so close.

While we were there we also went to the Texas State Aquarium one day. They have done a lot to improve it since the last time I was there (for field trips!). But it is still so small compared to the aquarium at the Mandalay Bay in Vegas.

The rest of the time we were there the kids played with all of my old toys and lots of new ones that Grammy got for them.

Enjoyed lots of bubble baths in the big tub!

And blew bubbles on the porch :)

It was such a fun trip and I can't wait until we go back in July and go to the beach!
