Here are some pics from our trip to theRiverbanks Zoo with cousin Katie and baby Jack. The weather was great and the kids had a great time. We realized it was impossible to get a decent picture of Louis and Katie together, though try we did. I think the elephants were the biggest hit.

After a very wet Saturday spent indoors, we decided to go to the New Hope Valley Railroad and ride the train today. Louis was so excited-he insisted on wearing his engineer overalls and conductor's hat despite the heat. His Thomas the Train crocs were a big hit with the under 5 set there as well. Louis really liked the hour-long train ride- for about 30 minutes that is. Then he was ready to get off and run around. Still, it was a great day and Louis wants to go back again soon with cousin Katie and cousin Jack!
