Family Time

Last week, Zach's brother Zane, his wife Melissa, and their little girl Alice came to visit.

Haley and Alice bonded very quickly.

They laughed, a lot! It was so precious!

Haley even got a playmate in the bath.

And story time at night.

While they were here, we went to the aquarium. Alice got to hear the ocean from a conch shell.

We even went to the circus! Not quite a big city circus, but there were elephant rides. Unfortunately, it was a little too cold (which was a big surprise!) by the time we wanted to get in line.
Haley enjoyed the circus by watching it with Daddy.

Emily stayed nice and warm in the stroller.

And Alice was as cute as can be in her little hat.

Another day, we went to the butterfly conservatory. Melissa got lots of luck when a butterfly landed on her shoulder.

I so rarely get pictures with my little girl, so this was a treat!

Alice and Haley had fun after seeing all the butterflies.

We even got a new family picture at the southernmost point.

Another day we went to the toy factory and the girls got a free token for the carousel.

Alice just wanted to lick the pole.

On their last day, we had a picnic lunch at the beach. Haley decided to go into the ocean and had to be stripped down. But it was the perfect chance to get a picture of all three cousins.
