Summer, Summer, Summer!! Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

Even with the job loss and consequent searching that I'm doing, we're still managing to have a really fun summer so far! We've had a couple of visits to the Lincoln Children's Zoo once with Wendy, Marty Jr., Pam, Caitlyn & Joslyn, then with Zoie's little daycare class, then with Connor to see the String Beans!! Early in June, I found a slide/house combo thing at a garage sale for Zoie and also bought one of those EZ set pools for the backyard, and I think it's hard to say who is enjoying them both the most! It was nice having the slide as we got to have our little friend, Marty, Jr., spend an evening with us while his mommy & daddy went to the races. Here are some pics to catch you all up!

Here's PCJ and Zoie riding to the zoo in the TruCK!

Later that same day...back to the Zoo with Vonda & Connor! And Zoie's 1st pony ride! When she got on the pony, she said, "Yeeeehaw!"

Here's Connor on his little pony ride too...
