summer girl

With flip-flops and ruffly skirts on, we're loving summertime!

Working hard at the new puzzle from Grammy and Grandpa

And off she goes

Yes, we love summer!

to the zoo

We took a couple of hours on Saturday to finally use our Zoo Passes.

 We got there early and enjoyed several sights before it got crowded and toasty out.

Although Rose had her own ideas of what she wanted to see.

Flamingos. Whoop-de-doo. Get me to the good stuff.

Giraffes were a bit more to her liking,

But of course what she really wanted to see was the elephants!

A good time was had by all

more posing

posing...and feeling a little silly about it

how does your garden grow?

happy father's day

We had a wonderful afternoon watching Papa play soccer and then out to dinner with Grandpa T and Jean.

And then we got to Skype with Grandpa and Grammie V, whom we'll be seeing real soon! Thank you, Papas and Grandpas--we love you!

Highstepping

And tickling the ivories
