Micke grove with my Sister

My sister Julie is moving to England for 3 years!!! Her husband, James got an assignment there through the military, so off they go. They took a tour through Cali, visiting all their friends & family before they left, and we were one of those stops. (not quite in san jose though)

We met them in a little place called Lodi, CA. There is this zoo called Micke Grove, and its just perfect for all our little toddlers. We used to go there when I was growing up, so it brought back a little nostalgia. They have this beautiful Japanese garden, that I remember my Grandpa Klingman loved when he came to visit.

Here is our day:

The Japanese Garden

The Zoo

The Kiddie Train




( I love this pic of my sister and me. I'm closing my eyes, and Jules doesn't look quite ready, I had to post it, because its the only pic of her little guy Carson)

It was such a a fun Day! I'm glad we got to spend one last day with them before they left. We're going to miss their family for the next 3 years!!
