Summer so far...

So far, summer has been jam-packed full of fun!  We've hit up the water park a few times, the library for story time (and to see a real Barnum & Bailey clown!), Home Depot to build (and paint) a really cool storage box, the movie theater for Carter's VERY FIRST "big movie" experience (Madagascar 3 - Europe's Most Wanted), Chuck E. Cheese for Brayden's birthday party, spent some fun time with family and friends, and even took a trip to the Dallas Zoo!  Whew!!  It's been so awesome so far!  Next week is our family vacation to Galveston - can't wait!  :)  Here are some pics... I think they ended up most recent first...

Of course - had to ride the Carousel - and it's no accident that he is on the giraffe!

We spent WAY too much time torturing petting the goats at the zoo!



Patrick - the Gorilla.  Yikes.  He is huge.

Carter - who generally has no fear - was a little scared to see Patrick up close & personal.  I don't blame him!




Unreal - these lions are only 3 years old, weigh 450 pounds and are not even close to being done growing.  Wow!  C was yelling at them to wake up...go figure!

Best party of the day - you guessed it, the giraffes!

Carter even fed this one some lettuce - he was so excited!




Playing with puppets at the library!



Such a big boy at the movies!


Happy birthday Brayden!  That is Brayden on the left, at the front.  Then Emmarie, Carter, Raegan and London!  Such cuties.

A little unsure of these giant animals - he kept asking what they are doing (I guess he was curious how they could play musical instruments!)

Rode this horse about 3,246 times.





Just chillin'...







Snuggle time with DD and Pops!
