busy, fun weekend!!!!!

We headed down to Springfield this weekend. We went to the Henson Robinson Zoo on Saturday morning. I hadn't been there in YEARS, but it was better than I remembered. It is small enough that the girls were able to walk the whole thing, and every animal was out!! That never happens at a zoo!

looking at the huge turtles!
Grace was scared of something so Isabel was talking away, trying to ease her
sweet girls...

Then we headed to my aunts for a GREAT lunch and some fun outside in the HEAT!!!

Isabel again, loved every minute of it.

Getting wild woman Grace ready...telling her how to do it.

Then we headed to a party for Laura and Doug. A party at Doug's parents house!! Other than it being VERY, VERY hot, it was a perfect evening, and a wonderful party to celebrate their upcoming wedding!!! Lots of good food, and nice people.
