San Diego Zoo

I drove the kids down to the zoo on Monday. We went with our neighbors Chrissy and her kids Cassie and Lucas and with Stacy and her son JJ. We got to see all the animals that we don't normally see at the Wild Animal Park. Nathan loved the all the snakes. I was especially creeped out by the insects. Bugs should just not be allowed to be as big as my fist. We saw the polar bears, a hippo, two pandas (mommy panda and new baby were off exhibit for now), a two week old flamingo (it was white and sooo fuzzy), various cats and exotic birds.

Auntie Sue got Married!

We went to Northern California for Auntie Sue's wedding. August 4, 2007. Also Nana Dora's birthday. Emily and Nathan were in the wedding as flower girl and ring bearer of course. The reception was a kick-back bbq in the backyard. The kids swam in the pool for hours. By the end of the night I had plenty of pictures we will be laughing over for years to come. I got Papa dancing like Elaine from Seinfeld, Nana and her sister laughing until they were beet red, and Sue with a beer tucked into her cleavage. I think that one is going to be our christmas card this year.

Sky High - July 24, 2007

Our neighbor Cassie had her 7th birthday party at Sky High, an inflatable wonderland for kids. Emily and Nathan are beating each other with giant q-tips. Olivia gave it a try too, but couldn't pick up the q-tip high enough to swing it at Emily. Needless to say, the kids all had a blast and really wore themselves out. Happy Birthday Cassie.
