July Fun

Well we have had a busy July so far! On Friday July 1st we went down to the OKC Zoo, it was very hot, but we got there right when it opened and we left when it was time for Syd's nap so it worked out. We had fun, we got to see the new baby elephant that was born in April and we saw a lot of animal. Syd liked the gorillas, they were laying right in front of the window, so they were easy to see!

On the 4th of July we went to the pool and cooled off some and then we just hung out at home and enjoyed the sand box!

Syd got a new bike, it is a Dora bike and it has the backpack with the map. If you have ever watched Dora you will know what that means, and she was very excited about the backpack! She is doing great on it, we did take our first spill on it the other night but she got right back on and is doing great!

On July 8th we headed down to Dallas so we could watch our Oakland A's play the Texas Rangers. Well we didn't get to watch much of the game, the stadium is great, but a little loud for Gilly, so I left to go back to the hotel and then Syd didn't really want to stay much longer either. I guess we will wait to go to another game until they are older:) On our way home we stopped to see my good friend Jessica and her family. Henry just turned 2 and Syd and Henry had a blast, they were running around in circles, it was so cute! I wish we lived closer because I think they would be great friends! Syd really liked their dog Max too:) Gilly was the only kid that would sit with Jessica and I for a picture and she was very glad to do it as you can see from her smile:)

We went to the pool again yesterday, with it being so hot here in OK we go to the pool a lot, anyway and we put Gilly in the floaty deal and she liked it. Syd is really getting around on her own a lot too with her floaty and that makes it really fun for her.

Gilly tried sweet potatoes today and liked them, she also likes apples! Both of the girls are doing great and learning new stuff each day! Gillian really likes to have your attention these days it is pretty cute:) Hope everyone is having a great summer and hopefully you are not as hot as we are here in OK:)
