June 27: Zoo

On Sunday, we braved the heat and took the kids to the zoo for a couple of hours (for as long as we could bear it!)

Sara the Tiger:


Checking out the birds:



There is one bird that can say "Hello" and "Bye-bye" We spent a while trying to get him to talk



Mick didn't quite understand and kept waving bye-bye to him



Mick's favorite is the giraffes (it was a little hot!):





Although Mick loves the giraffes, he doesn't like them to get too close. Sara was brave and fed this one:



Before we left, we rode the train (it was a little cooler on the train!)

We had a great time :)

June 21-26: Hanging Around!

Here are some pictures from our week. Mick LOVES this remote control car that Sara never bothered it (until he was interested in it!) It is so much fun to watch him as he grows up!


Sara painted some beautiful pictures!

We went to Amie and Paw-Paw's for me to teach my class and Sara loved holding Anna's new baby, Leah.

Mick had a rough few days since he got an ear infection from all the swimming at the beach. But he felt well enough to help butter the garlic bread:

Mike got back on Thursday evening and we took the kids to Zippy's for dinner. Sara wanted me to take her picture with this buffalo.

Sara let me braid her hair on Saturday, I had to take a picture since it probably won't happen again!

We are trying to play outside... Its so HOT! We had to cool down with some popsicles.

I was trying to sweep the patio off, but my helpers took over.

We enjoyed our week and a special thanks to Amie and Paw-Paw for helping with a under the weather Mick!

June 20: Happy Father's Day!

Mike had a nice Father's Day (I think). He and Sara celebrated by joining the mobs of people seeing Toy Story 3. They liked it!


My guys:

Later on, we made some yummy pizzas with the ingredients that the kids didn't eat.

Watching the pizzas cook:

Cheese!

We hope that all you dads had a great Father's Day too :) We love you!!

After dinner we checked out a go-kart place thinking they had kids' rides but they didn't. :( No worries- we still had fun! Sara enjoyed the go-kart!

Sara playing "whack-a-mole" A few days before this, we had tacos for dinner and we had guacamole- which Sara confused with whack-a-mole. So silly :)

Here are some pictures of us on the beach. Mike got some great ones of the kids :)

















Mick LOVED all the helicopters and airplanes that were flying over the beach. He could spot them before me!


There it is!
