My niece Emily came for a visit this week. She lives in Olympia. We don't get to see her as often as we like, so I thought it would be fun to have her come visit for a few days. She is a year older then Emma, but they are both about the same size. I never grew up around any of my cousins and really don't know them. I don't want that for my kids and feel it's important that all the cousins get to know each other. Emma and Emily get along so well. They are getting to the age where they want to do "girl stuff" and so Noah kind of gets left out. But it has been fun having her here.
It's been really hot here so the kids spent Monday afternoon playing in the sprinklers to keep cool.
Then they came inside and Emma and Emily played dress up with the princess dresses.
Then today I took the kids to forest park to play in the water park. They had so much fun and were able to keep cool. There were so many kids at the park today, I think every day care center and kids' club decided to come here today!
Daniel wasn't so sure about this. He mostly stayed in the shade on the grass with me and ate all the string cheese and sandwiches I made.
Emily enjoying the water.
Forest Park also has a little petting zoo. The kids got to see rabbits, baby cows, pigs, goats, chicks, and ducks.
Daniel loved watching the noisy chickens!
I was a little nervous about taking Emma here. Last year when we came here she screamed the whole time and wouldn't walk around cause she was so terrified of the animals. But she did great and even pet the animals.
Emily was so cute, she would go up to each animal and say "oh, he's so beautiful!!" I think that was her favorite part of the day!
Daniel LOVED the baby chicks! He spent almost the whole time standing in front of their cage!
Daniel thought it so funny that this goat was on the table. He would just point at it and then laugh. We take Emily home tomorrow afternoon. It's been nice to have the kids off playing so well the last two day!
