After we got home from our girls trip we chilled out the evening while Chris studied. Knowing he needed to get a little more studying done not long after breakfast Lisa and the girls headed to the zoo for a day with the animals. It was a very nice day especial for late July but when Leia got hot she was ready to head home. The girls asked about having friends over so we picked up a couple on the way home for finish up our Sunday Funday.
Sunday morning we all enjoyed breakfast on the porch before daddy headed back to his office to work
Mommy finally convinced the girls to go to the zoo since it was a beautiful, not too hot day out. Of course the first stop was the carousel then we looked at foxes, bears, farm animals, and butterflies
Play areas are always fun

The girls love ringing the bell after our rides
These two have wanted to ride the camel for a year and we had not been lucky enough to be at the zoo when it was open but today was their day
After the fun at the zoo the girlies got to have sweet friends over to play for a few hours
Monday, the girls went to camp. Leia had been looking forward to the Jeti camp but when it arrived they asked if they could just go on mommy’s work day. Since Grandpa and Deedee was coming to town Wednesday they only had to go one day that week. After mommy got off work we hung around to see daddy a little bit then mommy took our girlies out to swim and spend the night at Mimi’s so daddy could have the house to study.
We had fun on our late night swim! Thanks Mimi for taking a couple pics.
Blessed to get to be their mommy; their zest for life is contagious
Blessed to have Tuesday morning breakfast on Mimi’s back porch with her. We hung out with Mimi until that afternoon when we had to head back to Vestavia for tutoring and gymnastics. Ivy finally landed her back handspring. Of course when mommy got to get a picture and video she was tired from doing it so much so her coach wanted to be there to spot her just in case but so proud of her for achieving one of her goals this summer.
Ivy was so excited to show us her back handspring
These girls love visiting our neighbor’s dog, Scotty
Wednesday Grandpa and Deedee came to hang out with the girls while we were at work. They hung out at home just playing most of the day but went to Urban Air to jump, ride go-carts, and play in the pit then by McDonalds for lunch. We fixed dinner when mommy and daddy arrived home and got to enjoy a little bit of time together lingering over the dinner table. Deedee and Leia joined Lisa and Ivy on their normal evening walk then everyone headed to bed early while Chris headed down to study.
Fun in the Pit at Urban Air
