Sum-sum-summer time 2018

Ah....summer....time for sundresses and silliness...



...time for geckos and get-togethers





...time for swimming, sprinklers and splashing.





...time for summer haircuts!







Check it out in living color!




Summer started on Memorial Day weekend, when I picked you up early from 'not school school' and took you to Keller's Drive in for some in-car burgers!


It continued with a long walk to CVS to get candy and test out those new pedometer watches and staring contests in the park. 







There were cookies to be baked, critters to be caught and released, and games of chase in the backyard and bike rides...







We finally got together with our friends: 







You learned new games, and played music...



...and had a surprise visit from Kaelyn!





There was more backyard fun, a sleepover (a first!) with Brady, many trips to harvest the garden, a fun trip to the tile store, and more!








And a surprise summer visitor, Holden!




Top it off with swimming, playing cards, cuddling dogs, and  a day trip to the rec center pool, complete with fresh peaches and an amazing million trips down the water slide, and you got yourself the start to a sweet, sweet summer!

Wild Animals: Zoo Day | Friend Day

When your kids wake up on a beautiful holiday Monday morning and say "Let's go to the Zoo"...




...you go to the zoo!

So we packed up some lunches and drove to the Dallas Zoo to see our old friends, the Mandrill Baboons...


...eat some fave foods (Cotton Candy and Dippin Dots!)


And meet some new animals: Hippos (not pictured, because they were sleeping and not being photogenic)





We had a wonderful family morning and afternoon exploring the zoo, and watching some other families at work (namely a chimpanzee family; i was impressed how the mom carried the big kid on her back all day <sound familiar?>; you guys (and I ) were impressed when the baby climbed up to the tree house to stand on the edge and pee off the side!)





















...and we closed up the Zoo Day with your favorite part of all: The Carousel.








Then, to top off an out-door, awesome sauce day, we met up with the Shields and Nodelands and played, ate, and splashed!
