Zoo Picnic

We picked up Taco Bueno for dinner and ate early at the picnic tables near the parking lot so we would be ready to see all the special events when the zoo opened at 6pm. We fed the elephants, watched the otters be fed, saw the bears playing, and watched the zookeepers feed chicken and sausage to the alligators. It was very interesting and entertaining!

Gra'ma's Birthday

We went to Chuy's for dinner and then home for cake, ice cream, and presents.

Anne helped Gra'ma blow out her candles.

Berry Picking

Gran came for a visit after we returned from vacation.

We had a ball and did a little berry picking, too.

After a little manual labor we met Scott for lunch and then head home for naps.
It was a great day!

Memorial Day Weekend

The Johnson Family had us over for hamburgers, hot dogs, and homemade ice cream. The girls had a ball playing with their friends on the slip-n-slide. Thanks Ashley, Kevin, and Lauren!

These two girls were born hours apart.

The Beach 2011

We went to the beach early this year since Anne will be starting pre-school in the Fall. We had a wonderful time with Papa, Gra'ma, Great Granny, and Great Grandma. Dave, Alicia, and Chaz made the trip this time, too!

Abby applied her own sunscreen.

Watching for Dolphins, Sharks, and Helicopters

When Anne wasn't swimming or playing on the beach she was coloring.

We rented bikes this year!

Last Day of Preschool (Splash Day)

Anne had her last day of Preschool before we went to the beach. It all went by so quickly. I felt like I had just dropped her off at Ms. Teresa's class and now she's ready for Kindergarten, if I can manage to get her registered.
