Zoo with Drew!

Friday was Drew's special day with Oma & Papa - what better day than to spend it in Milwaukee with us at the zoo!!

2 years ago, this dinosaur exhibit was here and Madison came down for her Special day to see it.  This year Drew was very excited to hear it was back, so Oma and Papa surprised hm and brought him here to see it & us! 

I wasn't sure if Makenna would be scared of the dinosaurs, but she did great.  I think it helped that Drew was there helping her to be brave.  This particular dinosaur spit water and the 2 of them had a great time trying to dodge the spit!

Woah

Love, love, love thi sshot of her holding on to his thumb:)  She had to be holding his hand just about the entire day.  It was soooo very sweet.

Drew is such a good big cousin!

Once Oma and Papa left the zoo for Drew's 2nd surprise of the day (a Miller Park tour), we ran into Annika!!  Makenna was BESIDE herself excited to see her!  AKANA!!! 

This little one melts my heart.  On the far left is Annaliese - Makenna's birthday buddy and the other little sweetie that Elizabeth used to watch and on the far right is her big sister Evangeline.  Best buds!

Love the death grip Makenna has on Annaliese in these:) 

What a GREAT day!!  On the way out, we ended up running into Miss Stacey, Ollie & Sam, too.  We had soo much fun at the zoo today!
