Photo-A-Day - Day 17!

"Person" - here is a person, who is a beautiful person, and she is my sister! With curly hair, a sense of adventure, a gift for noticing and enjoying the little things (sometimes literally), she is a one-of-a-kind person!

Our 4th of July fun!

Happy 237th birthday America! 

This is what we did to celebrate. :)

We started our celebrations on the 3rd and went to see fireworks!

We brought some homemade bubbles and several kids were having fun with our bubbles!

We got home around 11:30 and plopped everyone into bed.

On the 4th we had more fun with bubbles!

Uncle Sam - Audrey Hepburn style! (By the way, bubbles by the nose isn't comfortable! ;)

After we were outside with the bubbles for a while it started raining. We decided it was perfect for dancing in!

We ate lunch and all the girls took naps while I tackled a chapter of Algebra. 

After naps we watched the Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again and then went out to play when it was dry outside.

We had more fun with bubbles and then enjoyed a delicious dinner inside.

We had hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, and tortilla chips. For desert we had cherry cobbler/pie for the big people and cotton candy push pops for the little people. 

All in all it was a delightful way to celebrate the 4th!!!!! 

Fun at the Zoo

Bubbles + kids = Pure Joy!

A bubble in a bubble is still a bubble!

The baby monkey and his Mommy.

My friend, who we adopted for the day.

We were twins and unplanned matching shirts. :)

Lots of fun at the Zoo!
