Big day

Birthday fun

We went to the zoo with some friends today for Carson’s 5th birthday.  We had his birthday party Saturday and today he wanted to go to the zoo.  We invited my friend Kristen and her three boys, Carter, Camden and Cooper.  I know, that is a lot of little boys with C names.   I don’t think they even really paid attention to the…
