California Trip

This past week we went to California to see Kara and Jordan get married. It was so fun seeing everyone and playing in the sun! We stopped in San Fransisco first to see Uncle Levi for a few days and then spent the rest of the time in Sacramento.

everyone happy so far

Every year we do the fairs. We love the Spring Fair with all the cute baby animals and fun food. And we caught another sunny day!

Nolan loved the petting zoo goats

Woodland Park Zoo

We had a random sunny day off so we decided to head to Seattle and explore the Woodland Park Zoo. I had only been once and no one else had so we were excited. After taking FOREVER to find a parking spot (apparently not the only ones with the brilliant sunny day= zoo idea) we were in!

by the time we got in, it was lunchtime
