Busy Day

The kids and I had a busy day yesterday. We walked to the park then over to the fire station where the firemen gave us a great tour of the trucks. They let Ella and Jude get in one and hold the hose. Ella loved it and talked their ears off - Jude was not sure about it. Then we walked over to Sonic for lunch. Ella and Jude had their first Sonic slushes...big treat - brain freeze!! After our brains were frozen we headed over to Ace Hardware to buy butterfly nets for Ella's class. The journey ended with a trip to Walgreen's then walking home - not to mention a very exhausted Mom and two kids that took GREAT naps!

Zoo Trip

Yesterday we took our friend's (Marilyn and Casey) children with us to the zoo. Jenna will be in 4th grade this year and Audie just turned 14. Audie is the best babysitter in the world! The zoo was very hot - which happens to make children VERY HUNGRY. One of the highlights was the African Exhibit with the elephants, giraffes and hogs. Also the animal carousel was a huge hit. The greatest part though might have been the playground. They loved it (and forgot ALL about being hungry)!

Day Two

Don't worry, there will not be a boring post everyday. This one is just to make sure I am doing everything correctly. We are planning a trip to the zoo tomorrow so I will make sure and post some pictures of that.

My first post

Here it is - my very first post. Well, so far my page is not too interesting. I have intentions on adding some pictures when I return home from work. I will try to get some pictures of Jude's 2nd cowboy birthday party on here as well as some pictures from our beach trip earlier in the summer.
