End of the summer fun

We always pack so much into our summers. So near the end of the summer we play the "see how much more we can get in real quick before the summer ends" game. These are some of the fun things we did.


Camping with some friends. This picture is apparently story time. When Drea begs Daddy to tell her a story so Daddy makes up the best story he can think of and the very often involve princess drea.


Couple pictures of our zoo trip. We love taking her to the Pittsburgh Zoo every year. We went with our friends Jordan and Sarah and their son Isak. We're thinking about starting to take her more than once a year because she loves it so much! It's all she talks about. All the time when we are talking to her she will just say "remember when we went to the zoo. what were those one things inside called. (Always talking about the meerkats)." And then she'll say "I love those. But I don't like the bats. That fruit in there was yucky." And then she request that we each tell her our favorite animals from our last visit to the zoo. And she gets the biggest smile on her face and ask when we can go again. She adores it! The other day she was cracking up and said "I saw that baby elephant pee on the floor." Which we did see. Anyway, she loved it. Below are a couple other pictures.






Great summer! Did lots of other cool things like a cookout for Andy's birthday, first Mountaineer game, Pirates game with the family, and all kinds of other things. This was just a little highlight.

Ohhh no worries! Free breakfast = we are so there! Well, I'll be there before Kristi, and I won't save her any food! =] Just be sure to let us know what time the tailgate is starting 9 or 10am.
See ya!
