Where are the monkeys?

The circus was fun and although it was really hot, the kids seem to enjoy it. Brooke kept asking where the monkeys were. She saw all the other animals and assumed there were going to be monkeys too. She loved her first taste of cotton candy too!

Who cares about all the sprinklers

We went to the splashpad today and the kids were way more interested in the water fountain that they could actually reach. Ben is doing much better with water in his face than Brooke, but she still had a great time.

let's go to the quarium

We made our first trip the Aquarium downtown today. Brooke loved to ride all the rides and since there was almost no one there, they got to ride the carousel 3 times without getting off.

playing at poppy's

Since Poppy and Yia Yia were out of town for 4th of July, we celebrated today.

I want to show daddy

Our swim lesson are finally over and Brooke has made a ton of progress over the last 4 weeks. With Hannah, she jumped into the pool and put her face in the water by herself. Today we went over the Poppy's pool to show daddy all that she had learned. Way to go Brooke!!

happy 4th of july

daydreaming

I couldn't resist posting this picture. Joe and Brooke were lying in the grass watching the clouds.
