day 57 & 58 of summer

Day #57:  Saturday, July 19

We had a great day spending time together as a family.  First, we finally made a trip back to the zoo.  Current favorites at the zoo...snakes, penguins, elephants, tortoises.



Yes, this is Ellie pushing her 5 1/2 year old brother in the stroller.  Nope, Evan has no desire to walk on his own when there's a stroller available :).

Then we took a family bike ride all the way to the "lake"  park...it's about a 6 mile round trip that Evan made all on his own bike!!  He amazes me!

When did he get so big?

We ended the night at the drive in!  We watched Earth to Echo & Planet of the Apes.  Evan made it 30 minutes into the first movie, Ellie made it 45 minutes in, and Avery only lasted about an hour into the first movie {last year he stayed up for the entire first movie}.  I only made it through the first movie...Ryan has to watch the full two movies...no matter how many of us are already sleeping ;)...at least a minivan is comfortable to sleep in!

Day #58:  Sunday, July 20

After a late morning, church, getting ready for VBS at church, and a trip to Walmart we came home for a relaxing afternoon.  This means pjs on by 2 pm :).

Ryan spent the afternoon making soft pretzels and chocolate bread pudding {my favorite!} with this little helper.

This happened today....our last booster chair is leaving the kitchen.  Ellie hasn't used it for awhile, but she told me today to put it away.  No more babies around here :(...we are onto a new season.

Ended the night with a family wiffle ball game!
