Day 18

Tuesday some of our Hawaii friends came for a visit and to go to the zoo. Just the girls were able to come because the husbands all had to work, but Mike still came with us. He couldn't miss the babies first trip to the zoo and we needed a photographer!

Here we are, Hillary, Renee, Me and Carrie.

Hillary, her husband Jake and their new son Jack are currently stationed at Ft. Bragg, we visited them earlier last week as well. Renee, her husband Adam and their little girl Allie are stationed at Ft. Lee and will soon be moving to Ft. Eustace. Then Carrie and her husband Mark are getting ready to move to Washington DC, but for the last year they have been living in Aiken, SC. It's great that we are all on the East Coast and could meet up--we were just missing Kim who is current living in FL with her husband Jordan. They are all such good friends and I miss each of them dearly, but we had an amazing time together on this day!

It was a pretty day at the zoo--not too hot! The newest exhibit is Lemur Island...but this is all we saw...i guess they thought it WAS too hot because they were hiding in the shade being boring!
