Columbus Zoo with Girl Scouts-

They are mates!! 

 This little guy was a character, he sat there and kept showing his teeth and smacking the window.

Polar Bears were AMAZING!!!

Zoo animals are ambassadors for their cousins in the wild.

All the Place to Nap

Sometimes you just need to nap on dad!

Or in an inflatable bus that you've had since you were 3. 

Napping after lunch under the coffee table isn't the most comfortable but after a day of playing I'll sleep anywhere!

These next 3 pictures are of the tent Tarin made on the chair and of course fell asleep!

                                                       

      

   

Napping in a tent made out of the couch cushions and my favorite blue fuzzy blanket has to be the best place to nap!

No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap. ~Carrie Snow

4th of July Weekend

Our celebration starts on July 3rd with Freedom Days.  We plan to have friends and family over to watch fireworks (since we have front row seats).  Nothing better than cooking out, enjoying a few beers, playing cornhole, a fire (weather permitting), kids playing on water slide and ending the night with fireworks.

We place flags along the seawall and our yard. As you can see there was a nice breeze making them wave to the boaters.

Sailboats were out all weekend!

Bobby Green and Floyd playing cornhole!

Fireworks begin...I tried to hold still but it didn't quite work.

Then on Sunday we went to Floyd's parent's house to swim, cookout and then over to New Knoxville fireworks.

It was a good weekend. We enjoyed our company and enjoyed the day with family.
