Grandma Comes to Visit

My mom came to visit us last week and we had a lot of fun while she was here.  The weather wasn't too great most of the days, but when it was we went out and had fun together.  We went to the zoo one afternoon which we all loved.  The big cats were very active and roaring while we were there.  The zoo has these really cool walkways for the tigers to walk around in so you could literally walk underneath the tigers while going through the zoo.  The monkeys were doing quite the acrobatic swings while we were there.  There were quite a few mommy monkeys with their babies hanging on to them and they would go swinging along with everyone else.

We also took Nathan to the Smith Playground.   The big draw was a giant carnival slide that you ride down on gunny sacks, but it was really wet and humid that day so it wasn't working.  We'll have to go back to give it another try.  Nathan loved the playground though.  He thought he was so cool driving the firetruck.  This was also the first time that he's liked the swings.  Usually he doesn't like them at all.  He was laughing and kicking his legs with excitement.  And of course, he went down the slide a bazillion times.

We loved having my mom come visit.  It was a lot of fun hanging out with grandma at home and Nathan loved playing with her.  We can't wait till she comes to visit again!
