Going to the Zoo,zoo, zoo...

By saying going to the zoo, I don't mean my house...lol. The Monday after Father's Day my mom got into town with two special surprise visitors. Cousin Sophie (my niece) and Aunt Lisa(my aunt) came to Oklahoma too! They didn't stay for long but we did get a chance to go to the Zoo. Sophie had never been, and was asking Grandma Onie if there really were such things as elephants, bears, and giraffes, so we decided to show her the real thing!
They headed back to Michigan on Wednesday because of the rainy weather here...not much to do but sit around. Plus the kids(and Grandma) were anxious to get to the cottage and play on the lake. My mom took Jack and Mallory up north with her. So I am pretty much kid free, except for Rachel, for a week and a half. The kids and I both enjoy this alone time! We will go pick up the kids in Michigan and take a vacation over the week of 4th of July. I am really looking forward to spending time up there with the family.

Thanks for taking us to the zoo. I know sometimes taking out of town visitors to the same places one goes with family can be monotonous, but we appreciated it. It is almost as hot here at the lake as it was in Tulsa. The kids have pretty much been in the lake everyday...all day! Today we met the new neighbors who have a huge blow up water slide and raft. They floated it over to our house and in exchange we tried to help their son try to water ski. The little boy is 8 and looking forward to meeting Avery and Dalton next week. They will all have a ball bouncing between the two homes playing with all the water toys.
