A few weekends ago we headed down to Hogle Zoo to met up with family and friends. It was a nice day and surprisingly not so crowded that the kids were not able to enjoy.

 All the grandkids, Maxine Amelia Eliza and Mark, getting the 4 of them to smile at the camers is pretty much impossible.

 This is Jackson, we grew up with his Dad, Noah and him bonded instantly over their love of maps

Sadly the train wasn't working when we went to ride it, Noah had been looking forward to riding the train for weeks but handled it really well when it was explained to him. Sometimes his maturity surprises me. 

We had lots of fun enjoying the warm fall day and seeing all the animals
