And That's A Wrap!

Our summer was crazy, busy and way too short. We had either construction crews or company almost at all times. We had so much fun seeing so many family members and friends and we tried to fit in as many activities as we could. We figured since we live so close to Thanksgiving Point, we should probably get a pass. So we did-so we could see this...

and this.

Cousin Anna, Abbey, Asher, cousin Maddie, Emma and Claire.

If we go to the Children's gardens, we can do this.

And this.

Cousin Anna and her primary source of nourishment.

We can also play on this.

And dig in here.

We also renewed our Zoo pass so we can play with the giant water ball.

And get sprayed by the water elephant when he doesn't run out of water.

I just loved this one of Claire and cousin Maddie. Claire loves to mother hen her cousins since her siblings won't allow it.

We rode the new carousel and after many minutes and a very impatient zoo worker, Asher finally settled on a very strange monkey since the dolphin he wanted was taken.

Claire, cousin Maddie, Emma, cousins Grace and Catherine in the front and Asher, Abbey and cousin Anna in the back. This boat ain't goin' nowhere.

This pretty much marked the end of our summer. School started way too soon and yet in some ways, not soon enough. I'm not a heartless mother, we just still have no yard and the kids were getting a bit stir crazy!
