A Trip to the Zoo in March...

Al's sister and family lives in Kansas and we were able to take a trip mid March to go and visit. We met at the Kansas City Zoo and it was 80 degrees on March 15!!! We wore shorts and flip flops! What a nice little get away! It was our own little Spring Break! And even if it wasn't a beach resort kinda place, it sure felt good to get away from the snow in Iowa, see family, and wear tank tops and flip flops! If only for a little while :).

This polar bear was fun to watch swim.

Casey's favorite animal were these monkeys...

You have to have the picture of taking a picture don't you?

Casey convinced Al to pose.

The elephants were Carter's favorite.

We did find one little spot of snow and had an impromtu snowball fight because we were so Hot! Go figure! Only in the Midwest. I would say Only in Iowa, but we were in Kansas :)

The Hippo was cool too.

Cousins who totally wanted their picture taken. Can't you tell?

Back at our cousin's house, Casey is all about tying stuffed animals (and really, if I am being honest, people) up...We had a campfire and roasted hot dogs and made peanut butter s'mores for dessert! Yummy! Such an enjoyable time.

Playing Jenga Boom and checking on the Ipad while the kids are busy :) cause you know the adults never get to play if the kids are around...

Later in the weekend we played a game of Apples to Apples and had a blast!! Sorry to our nephew Blaine, but you just never know about those Leerhoff's and what they are going to pick!:) Love you guys!
