Our ZOO trip and the 4th of July....

Well, it's been quite a while. I have been both busy and lazy all at the same time. Keeping busy alot, but then when I do have a moment, I am too lazy to blog! Our house is still for sale, I am working on making brochures and putting it on Craigslist to try and attract more attention. On June 26, we took Will on his first trip to the Zoo. It was super hot, but we had a GREAT day! He was such a trooper, never too fussy, even when we stopped to eat lunch on the way home. He love seeing the animals, but he loved the fish and reptiles the best! We have decided that since we had to cancel our trip to the beach, we are going to take a small trip to Chattanooga and take Will to the Aquarium. I think he will really enjoy it! And at least it will be indoors!! :) Here are some pics from our day at the Zoo:

We also had a pretty great 4th of July. Not only do we celebrate Independence Day, but we also celebrate my Mom's birthday as well. We had grilled chicken and shrimp kabobs, with salad and rice and grilled corn on the cob (great cooking Ryan!!) The boys went to buy fireworks, but we got rained out, as I am sure everyone in our area did. Will enjoyed watching the Macy's firework show on TV, then we finished the night off with Julia's cake and homemade ice cream. SO great!!! I totally forgot to get my camera out until the end of the evening, but I did get some cute shots of me, Will and "Auntie Ka-Ka". It was a good family day!

The picture doesn't do justice for that cake. It was so bright and pretty! They did a wonderful job. Julia's is the best, my favorite bakery!! But as much as I love it, I hate it too! Sweets are my weakness, and I cannot seem to say no to anything from Julia's!!

Well sorry to keep it so short, its just about nap time for the Will-man and I think I just might join him!! :)
