Fun Weekend!

We had a great weekend. The weather was a bit cooler on Saturday, making it a terrific day for the zoo and a picnic. Some of Alex's cousins were in town visiting, and we had a fun evening over at Laura's to get everyone together. (Maria really was here, even though I don't have the pictures to prove it.)

Fun on the hammock!





Birthday cupcakes for Carolyn!



Alex thoroughly enjoyed the cupcake, a treat he never gets to have at home.



Then Alex took over the camera and shot about 20 pictures. Something that never would have happened in the days of film cameras.
