After the big party we still had a few more days to enjoy time with the Alvarez family before they headed home. We decided to take them to the Zoo. It just happened to be customer appreciate month for our cable company and they were doing a special called Twilight Tuesday this month! Perfect! Not only was it free (bonus!) but it was after the Zoo normally closes so we got to see the animals much later (and in much cooler temps) than we usually get to!
Katelynn and ELena ready to explore!
Dominic and Mariah were ready too!
We saw flamingos -
Elephants -
Hippos -
and Lions! (plus a whole lot more animals!)
How sweet is this? We got a wheelchair so Victoria didn't have to walk too far. Dom kept her company. :) 
Photo op time!
Tio Pete was being silly in the wheelchair - poppin' wheelies.
And Adrian (and Robert!) thought this would be hilarious. It is pretty funny though!
There was a nasty sky that started to show up as we headed out of the Zoo and its a good thing we left when we did! It down poured right after we left. We hit up Applebee's for dinner and attempted to get a group picture in terrible lighting and with a phone camera - boo. We look like crazy animals from the Zoo with our scary eyes - lol! But a least I have one picture with everyone in it!
It was really a great time and I am so glad that the family made the looong (14 hours!) drive up to spend time with us. It meant a lot! We will miss everyone!!
I also have to throw this little video in to show just how fun this family is! ;)
