Cousins! Minus P, who was off wandering. I was lucky to get this shot off as everyone was leaving.

NaNa Jean called us bright and early on Sunday to invite us to the zoo with the rest of the Thies-Niehaus fam. We decided to take a risk and go. Danie and her three kiddos came and Bryan, Jess, Gannon and Flynn met us a bit later. We quickly packed up a lunch and diaper bag and hit the road. This was Ashlyn and Braden's first visit. They missed their morning nap and I even nursed them about an hour later than normal and they were not crabby one bit. We found a picnic table and had lunch. NaNa and Grandpa brought the kids cupcakes. They had fun running around together. We left around 12:30 and everyone fell asleep before we even hit the highway (I almost did, too!). It was a beautiful day.

After naps we went for a walk and played on the swingset. It was a very calm and relaxing day. I am really looking forward to the summer!
