Keeping busy as best as we can

I found these on my phone and had to share.  A couple weeks ago we went to a dinner at Aaron's boss's house-the General.  Right before I went to pick up the babysitter, Brady was playing outside and somehow Bo was out there with him.  When I told them to come inside, Bo comes in like this:

 I couldn't get Bo to cooperate fully for a picture but his whole other side was soaked!  He dumped a 1/2 gallon container of bubbles on the dog!  I didn't have time to really give him a bath or anything so I dried him off as best as I could, got the babysitter and we went to our dinner.  He was getting kinda scruffy looking anyway so I took him to get groomed the next day and didn't have to deal with the suds myself!

I had to take a picture of the street that the General lives on.  This is on base and they are old brick houses with flags on the porches and huge trees lining the street.  It is also right across the street from the old "parade grounds" where they would stand in formations and stuff like that.  Now they have a nice running/walking track around it and it's really nice.

 Here's how we've kept busy at home this summer

Just for fun!

and being goofy!

Favorite thing to do-
make a mess by pulling out all of
the plastic containers

Brady has to join in on the fun

 We took advantage of a cooler temperature day to go to the zoo.  I really like the zoo here.  It's quite large though and it is very hilly.  And I have the bigger stroller that Brady can sit/stand behind so pushing 2 kids up and down the hills by myself is quite a workout!  It's times like these that I miss the Tucson zoo because it was the perfect size and there are no hills!

Brady's not really scared but it kind of looks like it in this picture!
The gorillas here are huge and usually right up by the glass!

Family picture!  ha ha

Train ride!

It is quite a trip up and down the hills to make it to the zebras, giraffes and rhinos.  So we took a train ride that took us all over and we saw everything so I didn't have to push it all over this time.  It's $5 a person (not counting Collin) and closed during the colder months so we don't ever do it but we did this time.  That's all Brady could talk about!  I'm surprised that he even remembered that we were there at the zoo looking at animals.  He would have been happy if we showed up at the zoo, rode the train and went home!
