Just the 4 of Us: Fun at the zoo

Back at the end of April, Nathan and I enjoyed a nice short time away for our anniversary. Our dear friends the Larsens graciously (yeah right! more like eagerly!) agreed to keep Makaela for us. They love her so much and she loves them too! They came and stayed at our house while we were gone and we both had a great time!

Nathan and I went to Leavenworth which is a little Bavarian town here in WA. A dear sweet friend from church offered us a night at their timeshare there which we gladly accepted as the rate was much cheaper for us that way! We enjoyed walking around little main street. We tasted some fudge which consequently lead to buying some fudge. I never knew fudge could come in so many flavors and kinds! We bought 6 quarter pound blocks each a different flavor and that wasn't even half of what was there!! We haven't gotten around to enjoying the fudge yet--it is still in our freezer as we have been on a diet and haven't been able to indulge yet :) But possibly more about that later. But our time was wonderful and refreshing and relaxing! It was a perfect time after having come off a busy busy Easter weekend!!

Makaela also enjoyed her time with the Larsens. Rosie took her to the zoo with her mother in law and a few other kids her mother in law watches. This was Makaela's first time to the zoo and from the pictures, it looks like she had such a fun time! Now that she is walking, I'm sure that she would have even more fun!! We're looking forward to going back sometime when we have a nice day and when we don't have something else scheduled!! Here are a few pictures from her time there. It's really hard to get Makaela to look at much less smile for the camera these days! She is much more interested on whats on the other side of the camera--usually a picture of herself. But in these pictures from the zoo, she is completely enamored with everything she is seeing! Such a fun time!!
