Miniature Train Ride in Fort Worth

On our last day in Fort Worth, we spent the morning at the local park and playground before picking Daddy up from work. Trinity Park has a miniature railroad, so we took the 40 minute trip with lots of other kids and families.

Katelyn, Mommy and Josh - All Aboard!

The train makes one stop at another "station" in the park - a stop that is just long enough for everyone to get out and buy popcorn!

Trip to visit Jacob and Jonah in Plano

On Wednesday, we drove from Fort Worth to Plano to visit Michelle, Jacob and Jonah. It was a beautiful day and we spent most of our time outside - with a brief intermission for a Cinco De Mayo lunch of quesadillas and Josh's introduction to Little Einsteins. :) We were sad to say goodbye in the afternoon - we love visiting! Next time we'll meet on the East Coast!

This is Katelyn's favorite way to experience the trampoline!

The boys didn't mind doing all of the work!

We filled the pool and brought out the slide. The boys took turn sliding - there was lots of giggling! Jake watches while Josh takes a turn.

"I want to do it again!"

Jake's turn! He's so excited!

Jake went up and down that slide the most of anyone!

Katelyn went down a few times, but preferred to stay out of the pool.

Michelle keeps Jonah cool in the shade. Jonah is a sweet baby boy and a very good snuggler!

The best way to end the day? Freezer Pops!

The Fort Worth Zoo with Jacob and Jonah

Michelle, Jacob and Jonah drove down to Fort Worth today for a trip to the zoo. There were a wide variety of animals at this zoo - lots of monkeys, lions, tigers and bears - oh my! Penguins and kangaroo's too - it was a good day. Josh even got to see a Cookaburra - now we know what we're singing about in the car!

Josh begged for me to take this picture of him

The boys probably spent twenty minutes climbing onto the rock, counting to ten...

...and then jumping down. They thought it was so much fun!

Katelyn figured out how to make it on top of the rock by herself!

Katelyn was more concerned about buckling Jonah in than the elephants.

Josh and Jake managed to make their way under the fence to get a closer look at the elephants!

Mommy, Katelyn and Josh - we had a fun time at the zoo!

Our Trip to Texas!

Jeff had a work trip to Fort Worth for the week and we decided this was a good excuse to visit with Dan, Michelle, Jacob and Jonah! We met up for dinner so the dads could visit and the moms planned their fun days for the rest of the week. Josh and Jacob didn't necessarily remember each other from our visit last June, but they quickly hit it off and were running around together before we knew it! Katelyn had fun with the boys too and giving new, baby Jonah kisses!
