aunt JESSI!

 saturday we got a great well needed visit from our aunt jessi!

jess is my oldest friend in the world and we only get to see each other about every 2years as she has been living in west virginia for over 8 years!! she is so much fun and hoped in her car at 5am and drove the 6hr drive down so we could hang out for just 24hrs before she had to go back.

love love lover her!

 so we took her to the park and laughed our heads off at the kids going down the super fast slide!

 and tried to take as many pictures as possible to prove that she really did come see us!

 popsicles of course!

 and then we took her to the zoo, because we know she loves animals and wanted to show her all the fun we had! the penguins were amazing, and kept swimming around and coming right up to the window!

 

 the gorilla was sleeping with his feet up and tenley literally tickeled his toes from the inside.

then all of a sudden in one swift move he sat up and just stared as us all!  scared the pee out of tenley!

 becca and manda stayed home sick with strep throat, we missed em but still had fun.

 m-ba-g-ba asked to take a picture by this silly giraffe!

 the kids loved the huge tank and watched for minutes upon minutes all the fish, and sharks swimming by.

 

and sometimes the zoo comes to your front yard.  this little black stray cat got a lot of love on saturday!!

thanks for coming to visit jess! you are the greatest friend and aunt in the world!  can't wait to see you in texas in a couple months!!
