The Daintys

We took another trip to our little local zoo today with one of Leah's good friends.  It was a fun morning of seeing the animals, visiting the petting zoo, and getting bright blue lips from a snow cone!  In other news, Baby "Bruiser" has not decided to make his grand arrival yet...today was his due date, so like his big sister, he is most likely going to be fashionably late.  We are looking forward to his arrival!   

Last week, we attempted to introduce Leah to the wonders of sleeping beneath the stars.  And by we, I mean Ryan, because though I love camping there's no way I'm going to attempt to "sleep" on the ground right now...  So, Leah put on her finest Ariel costume and helped Ryan set up the tent.  Then Leah changed from her Ariel costume, to an apron, and there were sparklers! And S'mores for dessert. Yes.  Ryan is enjoying both a s'more and a pipe at the same time.  But, alas, it was just too hot out.  And there was some kind of air advisory that went into effect, so the tent was transported to the basement and Leah's first campout took place in air conditioning. 

So the best $8 I've spent lately was on a slip-n-slide from Kohl's.  It has already provided us with great amusement, and I'm sure it will continue to do so until it is inevitably ripped or broken as these things almost always are...  Though I bought it with Leah in mind, it turns out Lucy LOVES the slip-n-slide most of all!  She ran down the length of the slide every time Leah or Ryan went down and seemed to get a big kick out of the whole thing, but then I couldn't get her to play fetch with me for all the treats in the world.  She's such a goofy dog...
