Be around the people you want to be like because you will be like the people you are around.

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world because I have had family come and visit the last three weekends. For the holiday weekend, Chris’ brother and his family made the trip down from Kansas City. The theme of the weekend was animals.

Our nephews climbed like monkeys on the play set.

For breakfast, we enjoyed some Monkey Bread from this Pillsbury recipe.

Next on our agenda was a trip to the Oklahoma City Zoo, where we saw monkeys from a far.

Then we got close and personal with the animals in the petting zoo.

Though, the exotic animals of the zoo stood no chance for the boys’ love of the doggies.

Now the slide was a different story.

Everyone made a few trips down the slide this weekend. If you want to feel young again, try hanging out two boys under the age of four.

What’s your favorite animal?
