Zoo & Lunch with Sis/Cousins

My sister & her kids met us at the zoo this morning. Rhett was hilarious--he talked NON-STOP from the minute we walked in the gate. I told my sister that I needed to get him a summer job as a zoo tour guide. He was running ahead to show us where the tigers sleep, which snakes are venomous and non-venomous, which kind of snake "bit Mrs. Heather's Dad in Texas", telling us that the elephants throw dirt on themselves to cool off, on and on and on. Lane and I are both fairly quiet people--I don't know how this child got the extremely talkative gene!? We had a good time. Rhett and Jaiden are always so excited to see each other. Alexee wasn't crazy about sitting in the stroller, but with enough animal crackers, juice boxes, suckers, etc., I was able to convince her to stay. Jeryn is a very easy-going kid...he's usually happy doing whatever.
After about an hour at the zoo, we were crazy enough to try going out to lunch. We hadn't even put the babies in their highchairs yet when we realized that Rhett had squirted mustard all over Jaiden's hair, face and shirt. The waitress came rushing over with a pile of napkins, and then everyone seemed to be staring at us during the entire meal. We all had purple milkshakes, and Micaela and I both ordered tuna sandwiches which we ate every bite of...they were so good! Fun day...thanks for coming to see us today, M!
