Jacksonville and the Zoo

Last week for Spring Break, I took the kids over to Jacksonville so we could finally meet Alex and hang out with the rest of the Wurdemans for a night. Valerie and Matt have a membership to the Jacksonville Zoo, so she suggested that we meet there and hang out for the day.  We all had fun seeing the animals, but the kids especially liked riding on the train.  We hope to do it again with Erik, but not until it starts to cool off in the fall!

Kayleigh finally got her hands on Alex!  (We're waiting for our second train ride.)

I guess the grass tastes better on the other side of the fence!

Matt cleaned off the porch before we came so we could have a picnic outside for dinner.  The kids enjoyed it so much that we were back out for breakfast the next morning!
