Another week of Summer Fun!

It is hard believe that another week has gone by and that we are getting ready to celebrate Caroline's 2nd Birthday! This week we stayed bust as usual. Both Jack and Caroline love to do something every day! Ed tells me that I'm not really a stay at home mom since I'm never at home. He forgets that we are home every afternoon for naps and quiet time. This week we had some play time with Riley and Mattie Lou at the playground. Jack and Riley love to collect rocks and run wild. Caroline and Mattie Lou are starting to play more together instead of side by side.

We also had another play date with Thomas and Nicholas. The weather wasn't the best so we ended up inside at Jumpits and then took the boys favorite place to eat Johnny's Pizza. The boys haven't seen each other one on one in a few weeks but they picked up right where they left off. Sorry I don't have pictures to post since we both left our cameras at home!

Then on Thursday, Lyla, Ada and Jessica came over for swim playdate. Of course, the weather was cloudy and a little cool but the kids didn't seem to mind at all. They all had fun swimming and playing. Lyla is Caroline's age and has no fear of the water. She will jump right in swim all around the pool. Jack and Ada (an older girl) get along great and have fun playing together. Ada was also so sweet to Caroline and wanted to help take care of her.

To end the week, we headed to the zoo with our friends Riley, Mattie Lou, Dru, Marley, Ryan and Lucas. The kids love going to the zoo and would go every week. Jack's favorite part was seeing the Lions and Tigers. He also enjoyed feeding the parakeets but only wanted to feed the green ones! Caroline's favorite part were the Pandas and playing on the playground. I think the true highlight was watching Mrs. Angie killing several bees that were trying to get the kids!
