The weekend before last, Nate and I had the privilege to fully play out our Auntie and Uncle role as we watched Caleb and Katelyn. We had so much fun. We decided since it was a sunny spring day we would take the kids to the Oakland Zoo after lunch on Saturday. Caleb was so excited and Katelyn of coursed followed suite. They had a blast and Nate I loved watching their reactions to the animals and such. Each of them said there favorite was the giraffe's. We wished we would have caught Katelyn's reaction on video to the giraffe's as she was so excited she could barely stand it. She is quite the little ham and surely knows how to make us all laugh. Our weekend went by really fast and after we dropped them back off at their home on Sunday night, we missed them. They were too much fun!
So excited to get to the zoo.
Caleb loved having a map to the zoo.
Caleb loved the tree slide
and of course monkey see monkey do
Katelyn wasn't too sure about the monkeys
A yummy treat at the zoo
This is one of my favorites.... when Caleb was about Katelyn's age I started having him raise his hands up when we went over speed bumps and he has never forgotten. So of course at the zoo there were lots of speed bumps and both Caleb and Katelyn would raise both hands in the air and we would all say "bump, bump" when we went over them. They just thought it was the funniest thing and Katelyn was say "more" in hopes the fun was not over. Good times!!!
