This weekend we went to Fort Wayne, IN to see my Aunt Betsy. She lives about 2 miles from the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, so of course we had bring the girls there to see all the fun animals. Unfortunately the African part wasn't open yet so we didn't get to see any lions or giraffes, and a lot of the animals were sleeping which was disappointing too, but there were quite a few cool things, like the sea lions! We got to see them do tricks and swim and eat lots of fish. It was fun and the girls loved it!

After the zoo we went back to Aunt Betsy's house so Lauren & Olivia could take a nap. While they were sleeping it was a good time for Ally and Aunt Betsy to do some crafts. They put stickers on white 'treasure boxes' for all three girls. And Aunt Betsy knitted a washcloth for each of the girls to put in their box to take home. Ally was spoiled, because she got to take home some seashells that Aunt Betsy gave her too. LUCKY DUCK!

Over all we had a really nice visit with Aunt Betsy and her dogs Bella and Shasha. Lauren and Olivia weren't too sure of them at first, but after they had a full night of sleep they loved them in the morning. Lauren even got a kick out of kissing Bella on the nose...over and over and over! Good thing the dogs were so laid back, otherwise they may not have like all the groping they received.

Thanks for letting us visit you Aunt Betsy! We had a great time!
