Zoo fun with Granny Gayle & Grandpa Charles- September 3, 2011

Everyone enjoys the play area

Sarah & Emily were happy to get in the turtle shells for a cute picture, but Daniel was not!

After the turtle picture, the girls were ready to be all done with the pictures! Daniel was much happier with this one.

The petting zoo had lots of goats

Everyone needed a little rest because it was pretty warm outside. This was Greg, Sarah & Daniel's second zoo trip. The last time they went, they had to close down because of the heat! Thankfully, it was not that hot during our visit.

School Starts, Finally! August 31, 2011

Getting ready to walk up the hill . . .

Hurricane Irene knocked out power to many of the city's schools, including ours. School was cancelled Monday, and then Tuesday. Sometime Tuesday power was restored to the school (many schools were not so lucky), so we were all set for a Wednesday start. We had friends on the other side of the neighborhood who didn't get power back until Thursday night! We were never without power, thankfully.

Dance Trophies- August 29, 2011

Thank you for sending the girls their trophies, Planet Dance!

Scrapbooking! August 25-28, 2011

Our annual scrapbook weekend was threatened by Hurricane Irene, but we didn't let a storm dampen our spirits! Despite the constant coverage, the hurricane missed us completely on our trip, and my flight was not even in the slightest impacted by the weather. We even landed early! It was a great weekend, and I managed to get quite a few pages done. I'm almost into 2010 . . . yes, 2010. Sadly, that is not a typo. At least I am a little better on the blog! I referred to it frequently while scrapbooking for dates and journaling.
