Family Day

We spent our Sunday together at the zoo and then headed out for dinner at Outback (the Kangaroos and Koalas inspired us).

Claire liked the zebras and funny birds running around with them

Emily liked the Lorikeets this time and wanted to point out their pretty colors



Daddy's favorite was the baby walrus



And mommy liked the elephants

Noblesville Street Dance

We joined our buddies the Reusser's for a night of fun on the square in Noblesville - some games for the kids, dinner and live music. The best part though was being silly together afterward at our house (and a girly movie for mommy with her friend Angie :)

Playgroup at our house!

We had our playgroup buddies over today for some fun in the sun! It was a hot one so we were busy splashing and running through the sprinkler.

All the mommies were busy as we took off in opposite directions

Emily loves to swing (especially with bubbles in hand)

A dip in the pool and some snacks

It was a fun day - thanks friends!

Toddler Time

We hit the library for their summer toddler time program today. We sang songs, the librarian read us stories and then there was craft time. Our big friends Addie and Bella sat and tried the playdoh for a bit while we ran up and down the library aisles. We didn't follow the quiet rules very well - but it was fun. Then it was off to McDonald's for some lunch with our buddies. Summer is the best!

Backyard BBQ!

The Maines Family had us over to celebrate the 4th of July. They had quite the set up and we had a blast playing with all the fun things in their backyard.

Emily loved the ice bucket and so did her friends ...

Claire and Bella played a little corn hole

And everyone splashed around in the pool

Happy 4th of July!

We enjoyed a parade in Noblesville today. There were lots of things to see and we did our best waving - scoring candy for mommy and daddy!

Then we went to the festival at the high school afterwards with live music, games for the kids and a neat balloon lady.

Happy Birthday America - we had lots of fun celebrating today!

MMMM ... CHOCOLATE!
