24th of July

for the 24th of July this year we decided that we would go to the zoo. we haven't been in a couple years and now that the babies are a little older we thought it would be a perfect time to go. It was pretty hot but not too bad actually. and there weren't alot of people there, at least not as many as I thought there would be. Calan was so excited the whole time and he was just screaming over everything. it was a happy scream and was so funny to see his get so excited! his favorites were the monkeys and bears but really he loved everything. all the kids had so much fun and i think we will go again soon. here are some pictures of the fun time at the zoo...

After the zoo we went over to Randys moms house and had a bbq and then lit off fireworks. the kids took turns lighting the fireworks off which i thought I would never let them do but with some help they were ok. I am sad that summer is almost over and I am going to try and enjoy what is left!!
