Cousins at the Zoo

Marilee and Nicole and their kids were all finally back from summer travels.  With school starting soon, and cousins dying to see each other, we wanted to get together for a fun adventure.  We decided on the LA zoo.  Lots of fun. 

 These two hadn't seen each other since the middle of June....way too long!

 The kids loved how Paige said "Mo-kee" for Monkey and kept asking her to say it.  The way the young boys take to Paige warms my heart.  They are all so nice to their little cousin.

 No trip to the zoo would be complete with riding on the conservation carousel. Paige used to be scared of going up and down, but likes it now. How does her face get so dirty all the time?  I think that was dried mango and dirt combination.
