Summer, Summer, Summer!

We've had a great first week of the summer. At least the girls and I have...it's budget season for daddy. On Monday we went to the zoo, which sounds so much simplier than a day at the zoo is for the girls and I. It was a trip that I thought about for a week, all the things that would have to be done. We were riding in with a friend and her two children and meeting up with our MOPS group. So, the back seats had to be put in the Tahoe and Ryleigh's extra car seat had to be installed for her friend. I needed to pack lunches and water, make sure to put sunscreen on the girls, pack extra clothes and grab our zoo membership card. The truck needed to be gassed up and I would definitely need some coffee. It all came together and we had a great day and wonderful nap when we got home. On Tuesday we went to a little water park at a local public park. Ryleigh had a blast and Avery got some sun too. On Wednesday we had one of Ryleigh's friends over for a play date and yesterday we went to the park, then had lunch with daddy, then headed up to the new outlet mall in Cypress and got Ryleigh some new shoes and me a swim suit (grrrrr). The pool opens during the week on Monday, so we're looking forward to that next week. Ryleigh starts her gymnastics and dance lessons next week. She's really looking forward to that. We had a play date scheduled for today, but we decided that staying in our pajamas is way more fun. Not to mention, there is much laundry to be done! As always, laundry, laundry and more laundry.
