Jennifer's Visit -- Part 1

Just a few days after returning home from our vacation, Jason's sister came to town for a very fun visit. We checked out the Dutch Market in town, played at several parks, hit the outlet mall, played games, visited both Baltimore and D.C. and generally just wore ourselves out by having so much fun!!

The kids really enjoyed playing with Jennifer at the different parks that we went to...

And Abby enjoyed putting on some pretty fancy fashion shows for Aunt Jen...

We spent Saturday in Baltimore, hitting up both the zoo and the aquarium. It was our first time going to the Maryland Zoo and I think it has now become our favorite zoo in the area. It is smaller than the National Zoo in D.C. but there's a lot more shade and the animals were a lot easier to see (probably because it was so much cooler). Abby really enjoyed the polar bears...

The rhinos...

And the elephants...

But her favorite animals of the day were the giraffes...

She even got to feed one!

It was fun to see them so close...

And a family portrait...aren't we too cute!!

Next up...our day in Washington, D.C.!!
