This week I finally got two of my “summer-to-do-list” activities done. I really wanted to get to the beach and to Como zoo, and we did it!
On Thursday morning we loaded up and met the Baker’s at a beautiful sand beach over by their house and spent the morning lounging in the sand and watching the kids play in the water. It was the perfect morning–no too hot, but nice and sunny. Chloe and Josiah were both so excited to go that they had a hard time falling asleep the night before and then they were up and had their swim suites on before I was even awake. 🙂
Then today we met up with the Tindall’s (friends of ours from church) at Como zoo. It was already buzzing with activity, even though we got there just before it opened. We loaded up and walked leisurely through the exhibits (the Polar bear was my favorite, the Tiger was Josiah’s and the giraffe was Chloe’s). Then we made our way back to our cars which we had strategically parked next to the playground and picnic tables, to enjoy lunch and a little fun time.
I’m so happy to finally done something “summery!”
So excited to be at the beach!!!

6 kids are really hard to get situated on one tiny gorilla…
well, here’s a picture with 5 of the 6… haha!

the two little boys rode in the stroller. That made it much easier to keep them corralled…

Such fun times, and you have beautiful pictures to remember it by! Thanks for sharing them.
