It’s 90 degrees and bright and sunny, so the kids wanted to come to the zoo. Ours has a water park that’s free to members so they took bathing suits “just in case” … so we saw three animals and then straight to the water! Lots of fun!
Since the boys have been playing baseball this year, they really appreciated seeing the home team play. A home run in the first inning and a few foul balls bouncing nearby kept things interesting. Also, the playground inside the park helped. They still don’t know all the words to sing during the 7th inning stretch, but they are starting to enjoy the game a lot more now. They even went down to the dugout to get autographs after the game. Pretty cool.
Well, after a week and more of digging and leveling a spot in the yard, the pool is up, so it must be summer. The first day it was filled and the water was 67 and the boys “just had to” climb in.
They were brave, though, and played around for almost ten minutes before giving up to let it warm up for a few days.
Sarah got a new Princess Dress for her birthday from her Auntie. Of course she had to try it on (including pretty white heels too) right away and dance around.
Every year for the past few years, we go to the annual Adoption Assistance picnic. They are the agency that helped us with both adoptions, and we love to go there and talk to the friends we have made at the agency and among the adoptive families. Julie and her staff are more like family at this point.
The children had great fun as usual, riding the ponies, bouncing in the inflatable and getting their faces painted. Can’t wait till next year!
