A Surprise Visit

This past Saturday night we had quite the surprise! My brother Parke and his wife Janelle and boys, Daryl and Travis showed up at our door! We really appreciated them coming, knowing it is not easy to leave a dairy farm for a couple days! We had a fun weekend with them, but like all fun things, it got over too fast!

Any visitor we have gets bombarded with books!


Sunday evening, we went on a drive and to a state park












"Do not feed the Alligators"


Watching for an alligator


We were not disappointed!


It came surprisingly close! I was afraid it thought little Rissa looked like a tasty snack!


Monday we went to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia. It was pretty warm, but we had Fun!


Learning how to "milk a cow" with Uncle Parke
We thought it probably made him feel right at home (:

The kids enjoyed riding the Carousel before we left the zoo
