a musical night

On July 2 we went to the symphony on the prairie. It was so much fun! It was a beautiful night and wonderful music. Both my girls had a blast! Libby LOVED the music and the food. She danced all night until she finally crashed. Alex loved the music but I think most of all she LOVED being with all her family. We missed Kyle, Kelly and Annie, maybe next time!

Father's Day

I know it is a little late, but we celebrate fathers day when Alex is home. It does not have to be on any date, just when our family can be together. First we surprised daddy with the bike trailer that he has been talking about. The next night we all hoped on our bikes for a ride around the neighborhood. What Fun! After he got his present we met up with Nina, Grandpa, Beth and Zack and went to an Indian's game. We always have fun at the ball park! The Indian's lost but it was a close and fun game!

Libby has decided that she will use anything she can to get where she wants to be.

Alex's Zoo

After a visit to the zoo Alex decided to make a zoo in her room. Not that we don't already live in a zoo. She had a grand opening and I had to buy a membership and have tickets for the shows and everything. I was a lot of fun!! And a lot cheaper.

Libby's first ride onthe carousel

silly faces

Yeah for the zoo!!!

Alex and I took Libby to her first visit at the zoo. She seemed to enjoy it. She saw the butterflies first. I was surprised that she actually could see them. Her favorite this was the dolphins. I have never seen her be so excited about anything that was not food. She was dancing and pointing. Alex and I really had a fun time watching her. She did end up falling asleep just in time for her first train ride and missed the rest of the zoo. But that was OK because then we had to bring Daddy back a few days later. Libby was not as excited about the dolphins this time but she got to ride the carousel for the first time. We had a great day, but we were tired by the end. Alex had a ton of fun as well. It had been a few years since we have been and I think that she forgot how much fun it could be. She has created a zoo in her room, complete with a map and a grand opening.
