Summer update!

We have been filling our days with fun activities since we are not able to use our porch or back yard.  Our sweet contractor has been working hard though!  The twins love seeing him work through the windows!

 Ryan didn't work last Friday and we took kids to the Asheboro zoo.  It was the best zoo day I have ever had!  It was very overcast which helped with the heat and all the animals were out and playing!

 Ellie was obsessed with the baby monkey.  Best part was the mommy and baby hung out right at the glass so kids could see them up close.

 My happy little monkey loving girl.

 The sea lions and seals swam around and it made the kids giggle every time they passed by.

 The highlight for us all was defiantly the polar bear!!!  I have been to this zoo countless times over the years and usually see the polar bear sun bathing or laying around.  This time he swam around for almost 30 min!  And we were able to watch him above water and under water!

 After a long morning at the zoo we went to The Table for lunch and then took naps in the car home.

In other news.....I was over the moon when I was asked to be this little nuggets Godmother.  Seriously I can't tell you how honored and excited I am to watch him grow and be a part of his life.  Brooks is already so blessed to have the most amazing parents and big brothers!

Ellie just adores Brooks already. 

 Brooks was baptized recently and we were able to witness his baptism at our church and celebrate with his family after!  His baptism gown was his grandfathers and has been passed down to every family member since.

 Godmother and Father with our Godson!

 He is the happiest, cutest and snuggliest baby ever!

 Other than that we have been going on bike rides, playing at the park, watching movies, swimming at the pool, visiting all the museums Charlotte has to offer and just enjoying summer!

Although most moms are ready for school to start back, I am looking forward to one more month before our lazy fun summer days must come to an end....
