This and that

Has it really been so long since I've blogged? Time flies when you're having fun right? Well, Mom came and stayed with us for about a week at the beginning of the month. We had fun just hanging out--we went to the zoo and spent quite a bit of time with Uncle Mike. Mom was also here visiting a friend who is sick. I think Mom was able to visit her almost every day. She ended up getting sick for a couple of days, but was recouperated by the time she left. :) We think Mom got heat sick. It was pretty hot when we went to the zoo. And then the next day we waited an hour and a half at Lamberts (which has absolutely no air conditioning in the waiting area).

At the zoo and looking over the edge at a big hippo (not in view).


Yeah, Julia looks all cute and innocent here, but I will testify that she chased this poor peacock all over the zoo shrieking at it to see what would happen.



This little area outside the snake house (which Mom refused to step foot in) was a lifesaver in the heat. There are little holes all over the ground and they shoot out balls of water. Everyone had a fun time catching the water or smacking it at each other. By the time everyone had their fill of the place, they were completely soaked.




For some groovy reason Evelyn was insisting that I needed to take a picture of her hands. They look normal to me!
