Our anniversary fell on a Thursday this year so Lisa had it off but Chris had to work. Lisa woke the same time as Chris and gave him his first card of the day before he headed to work. We had a lazy morning! Grandpa went and got us all donuts close to 9 then Leia asked Grandpa to take her to the movies to see Lion King while Ivy wanted to go to the zoo with Deedee and mommy. We ended up picking Ivy up a friend too so she had someone her size to ride rides with her, get in the splash pad, and explore. Chris got off a little early for us to go to dinner to celebrate our anniversaries together while Mary Elizabeth took the girls to Urban Air for a fun evening. The adults got home before the kids but enjoyed chilling out on the porch fellowshipping until the girls got home. It was close to bed time so the girls took their baths to head to bed; most of the adults were asleep before the girls though. How blessed are we to get to spend a day with our family and celebrate 11 years of wedding bliss.  

We have arrived at the zoo and ready for a fun day, of course our first stop was the carousel; mommy will miss when that is not the first thing our monkeys ask for  

The girls were excited to play in the splash pad and we tried drying off in the air blaster, it did not work as well as we had hoped

  
   
We did see a few animals at the zoo too

       
We waited a extra time to get on the train so these girls could get the back

Ivy kept her tradition alive ringing the bell
 
This little monkey said she needed to sit down since she was so tired

Thankful Ivy got to have fun at the zoo with a sweet friend on our anniversary and we got to spend time with them 
  
After we dropped Mary off Ivy walked the tight rope before heading home

The back porch was our anniversary gift to each other this year but Chris did post a sweet message to Lisa on facebook
