If you can't beat the heat, join it...

A couple weekends back, we took Addy and Claire to their first zoo - the Milwaukee Zoo!  Unfortunately, I didn't charge the camera so I was only able to document the first couple animals. :(  

When we first got there, Addy was super excited (and I think a little awed) to see the animals.  She was running around as fast as she could looking from one to the next.  I had such fun watching her and her daddy explore (LOVE daddy-daughter moments)! We all had a lot of fun but by the end of the day both the kids and the parents were hot and tired.  Too tired to even get ice cream on the way home!!!  

Here are a couple of the shots we did get. (Please disregard some of the blurriness.  A lot of the places were no flash.)

Poor Claire trying to see Something!


This week (as everyone can attest) has been SO hot!!!  Hard to explain to two little girls who want to go out and play, so we've been trying to keep ourselves cool and entertained.

Pretending we live underwater as mermaids:

Using our inside playground consisting of slide and "merry-go-round":



A brief jaunt to the pool:

Claire making her own splash pad:




And baby smooches:

This next bunch just makes me laugh.  This is my daily view when I go out to water the flowers on the front stoop.





Lastly, despite the blurriness (I was in a hurry to capture the scene), I wanted to share this one too.  Adelyn was in a time out.  I went in to the kitchen to set the timer and came back to this.  I guess Claire didn't want to miss out.


That's all for now.  Stay cool everyone!
