July Fun

Annabelle's friend came up the North Carolina for a visit


Annabelle is so excited when she hits the ball

Claire first fish

Claire caught her first fish too!  The fish were so calm when they held the fish between their hands


Riding the horses

Riding Stricker and Molly


Singing to the horses

The RV was so much fun for the girls.  They pretend to drive to vacation

Merry Go Round & Toft ice cream adventure

Merry Go Round museum was a fun detour on our rainy Sunday home for the Lake house




The Merry Go Round was really fast compared to the Akron zoo


Yummy ice cream

Annabelle caught her first fish




July 4

Splashing in the pool.  Finally nice pool weather.  Claire mostly stayed on the side of the pool, but she made it in a few times for about 5-10 minutes each time


Annabelle loves every minute of swimming and jumping in
Sparklers


We enjoyed a quiet 4th of July.  No fireworks for us this year!

Rubber Ducks Game

Before the Rubber Ducks game, we went on a crazy train ride in the street and Annabelle went into a few bouncy houses.  We love free stuff!

The face painting was not free along

The character picture was free.  Claire did not move a muscle when the artist was drawing her.

Love the popcorn

Say cheese

Mommy The New Bubble Lady

Annabelle was disappointed that she didn't get picked by the Bubble Lady at the library to be in the bubble.  Her friend got picked because she was wearing a "beautiful hairband" according to Annabelle.   A few days later, Mommy made bubble solution for the girls and her preschool kids to be in a bubble!

Claire in a big bubble


Lightning Bugs


 One of my favorite summer memories this far was seeing the excitement on the girls faces when they saw and caught lightning bugs for the first time.  They most have caught over 25 lightning bugs that night

Daddy & Annabelle's late night data at the zoo

It was zoo member day, so Daddy and Annabelle got to go to the zoo in the evening.  It was a pirate theme, so they saw Captain Hook

They rode the carousel and got free Dip in Dots

They also saw TinklerBell

Worms


In June, playing with the worms was much more fun than fishing

Hanging out in the baby pool is better than the beach according to Claire

The worms are Annabelle's friends

Otter Slide

Akron Zoo fun a rainy June Day


 The girls going down the otter slide
Look at Otter



Teaparty

The girls were invited to a friend's birthday party at the DragonFly teaparty.  It was quite the experience to say the least.  The girls didn't care for their tea in these big glass teapots, but they loved adding sugar to their teacups to make a magic party.  With the child's gifts and paying for the bill for the 3 of us; it was an unexpected $73 birthday party.
