Beth and the Boys

John's sister, Beth, came into town Wednesday with a carload of boys - our nephews, Jack and Carter; Beth's boyfriend, Jeff; his two boys, Alex and Sam; and a black lab puppy named Angus. They've been on a major road trip from Texas to Canada to South Dakota and now Colorado. I'm so glad they squeezed in some time to see us. We've had a wonderful time, and Campbell and Helene have loved seeing their cousins.

We spent yesterday at the zoo and the Museum of Nature and Science. Below are Carter, Alex, Jack, Campbell, and Sam.

Helene and her friend Grace have been going to Zoo Camp all week. We ran into their group a couple of times while we were wandering around yesterday. The camp has been fun and educational. Helene is learning quite a bit about animals and about energy conservation, the theme of her camp.
