Busy Week!!!!




It has been an exciting week! Jen, Gage and Ema have been here all wek and we have done a lot of stuff! We started the week with Joe and Tiffany's wedding, Alyson's cousin. Then on Sunday we went to Toledo Zoo. It was great to have the family together at the zoo. We had to battle some rain here and there but we seemed to be lucky that day because everytime we were inside it would rain. We sat down to eat lunch under the pavilion and it poured down rain. The rest of the day was great. The zoo was not busy and that allowed the little ones to look at all the animals better. The sad thing was that the girls were more excited about the bronze statues there than anything else.
On Monday everyone else went to work and the rest of us ran errands. Nothing too exciting. The girls were excited though because they got to watch a movie in the van while we ran around!
Tuesday brought another zoo day. We all met up with Carrie, Justin, Noah, and Shawn. This time we went to the Fort Wayne Zoo! A friend of theirs joined us also. It was a beautiful day. Everyone rode the carousel and the train. We ate lunch in the zoo and the girls got ice cream! They were very excited. After the zoo we went to the park. The adults were trying to wear out the kids. I am not so sure that it worked. Chris finally got to go golfing! Dad, Chris and Gage went and played a round of golf while the girls went shopping!
Wednesday we, the non working people, went to see Horton hears a Who. Teh newspaper said it started at 12:50. We were there early ye we were still late. It actually started at 12:15. So we missed a little bit of it but the girls loved it just the same! After that Lizzy fell asleep and the other two girls went back to Papa's and swam, well sort of, in the little pool. The water was so cold that they just kind of jumped in and then out right away. They enjoyed every minute of it though.
Thursday allowed more people to join the fun. Grandma, Papa, and Kacee joined the fun. Poor Chris had to work though. He has to make the money so we can have another baby! HA HA!!! We took the girls to see wild bison. There is a bison preserve in Freemont that takes you back and you sit in the truck as the bison walk around you and do what they do. Lizzy wanted to jump out and pet them and was trying to call them to come closer. Skylar was fine with staying in the truck and just looking. They are amzing animals! After that just a quiet night at Papa's and Grandma's. Ok so as quiet as it gets with two 2 year olds and a 5 year old!
Fourth of July was spent at the Huntington Air Show. It was absolutely beautiful! Everyone got to go to this. After we got home we had hot dogs and chips and hte girls napped and then played. We then stood out on my parents back porch and watched the Garrett fireworks and all the other people who spent their money on fireworks! It was great because we didn't have to drive anywhere and mess with traffic. It was a good end to the week!
Jen, Gage and Ema left early saturday morning and the my family just relaxed at our house. Chris on the ther hand has been busy painting the bathroom, hanging to mirror and lights, and laying the hardwood floor! We are getting so close to being back to two working bathrooms! We are hoping to got to fireworks tonight and resting tomorrow!! Hope everyone and a great and relaxing three day holiday weekend!!!! Keep in touch!
