Jacksonville 2016

This year for my birthday, we spent the weekend in Jacksonville! We did some of our favorite things includine the Zoo and Cheesecake Factory. We had fun celebrating with our littles and Xavier and Luke were in heaven! :)











We bought the All Star tickets that allow us to do all the extras in the park like the train, petting th stingrays, the carousel, etc.


Lukey and I had breakfast while X and Dust played with the stingrays :)







Next up, the train! It was already hot!








We got off of the train at a stop where we don't typically get off and that meant seeing the Tigers early in the morning. We got a much better view of them because it wasn't as hot as it typically is by the time we get there :)

Next we visited Australia where we took turns holding and feeding the birds :)














And then we spent an hour on the carousel! Haha












This time Xavier and Dustin did something new-- they fed the giraffes!! It was amazing :)

















After spending most of the morning with the animals, we took a break at the watering hole ;-)
































We finished out the day by one last carousel ride!


And then headed to our favorite restaurant :)







Jake and FooFoo joined us!



iPads are the most amazing invention ever...


My Favorite! A birthday splurge!








ANd we had to get some birthday cheesecake...


We headed home after dinner and by the time we pulled in the drive way, it was bed time. We were pooped! What a fun birthday I had surrounded by my favorite boys  <3


Here are some videos :)
