Fun times at the Lake, The Zoo, and The 4Th of July!

 We love to come down and play at the Lake! It brings us happiness to be close to water!

 Samuel loves to create new coasters!

 We went to the zoo to celebrate Alyse's second birthday! It was a fun time. We did have some challenges though. It down poured and I was pushing Jay in a  wheel chair. It definitely made a great memory!

 He still loves the dinosaurs!

 Fireworks at crocker park. We went to the top of a parking garge to watch fireworks with Jason and Bonnie and the boys. We had the best view ever but it took us a LONG time to get down!

 Happy 4th at the parade! This is a long time tradition that we love and never miss!

 The girls were having a blast!
