Weekend Wrap Up - July 4th

This past weekend was well spent with family and friends.

Friday (July 4th):
- I got up and went into work for about three hours. I needed to get a few things accomplished while no emails were coming in.
- After I arrived home we went to Blank Park Zoo. The kids had a wonderful time. Caroline rode the camel and absolutely loved it. I had to sit on the hump, which wasn't too comfortable. I was glad when the ride was over. Her favorite part of the zoo was watching the giraffe's and while she was watching them, one of the giraffe's decided to lick the others behind. She yelled out, "Giraffe, that's gross, don't lick his butt."  I thought it was funny but told her that it wasn't nice to yell that out so loud. As a parent, sometimes you just have to crack up with what your kids say.
- In the evening, we went to Saylorville Lake to see the dam. There is a lot of water coming through the spillway due to the rain.

Weekend Wrap Up

This past weekend was spent at home and we managed to get the house cleaned up and laundry finished. Friday night, we enjoyed the beautiful weather. We realized that it's getting harder to get the kids to kids indoors after playing outside. They absolutely love it and I must admit...so do I!  There is nothing like breathing in fresh Iowa air!
