Lowry Park Zoo

Today we took the girls to Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo.

We got to see the wallaby eat lunch.

Jocelyn rode a horse named Chi. 

Madison rode a horse named Shampoo.

They love riding horses.

Riding the Flying Bananas!

All smiles!

The girls got to ride a camel for the first time.

They loved riding Mongo!

 We even got to see penguins.  

Jocelyn Penguin! 

The girls rode the Merry-Go-Round with Grandma.

 Jocelyn picked the giraffe and...

Grandma picked her favorite the gorilla.  

Happy 4th of July!

 The girls enjoyed spending the 4th of July swimming in the pool.

 Granddaddy cooked out and we ate red, white and blue cupcakes for dessert.  

After dinner, the girls had fun with Pop-Its! 

 Pop! Pop! Pop!

 Jocelyn used a hammer to pop some caps from Granddaddy.

Madison mastered a new trick on her scooter.

 This is the first year the girls used Sparklers!

 Madison liked dancing around with her sparklers.

Jocelyn liked marching with her sparklers.

Beach with Julia

 Today we spent the afternoon at Siesta Key Beach with...

 Julia!

 The girls enjoyed playing in the sand, jumping waves and watching a dolphin swim by.

Just another day at the beach!

Happy 33rd Birthday Daddy!

 Today is Clay's 33rd Birthday!  

We wish we could be with him on his special day, but are happy that we got to celebrate his birthday with him a few weeks ago. 

The girls made a special birthday video for Daddy: 

We love you and miss you very much!  We hope you have a wonderful birthday!
