Lions and Tigers and Bears (oh my!)

We really wanted to take Abby to the zoo before it got too hot (and before the baby comes!), and we finally got the chance last Saturday.  It was so much fun!  It's a great little zoo, and had pretty much every animal you'd want to see.  Abby just loved it - her favorite was definitely the aquarium. Garrett also got some great shots with the camera - here are just a few of the things we saw. Hopefully we can go back again someday!

Quite the yawn!!

Memorial Day

We had a fun Memorial Day!  Garrett spent the morning playing volleyball at Church, while I hit up a fabric store sale for some much-needed quilting supplies.  I really did need them.

We spent the afternoon BBQ'ing with friends.  Abby didn't eat much dinner but she sure did love the ice cream sandwiches.

I really do miss our Memorial Day traditions from growing up, though, and I look forward to establishing similar ones with my own kids someday.

What do you do....

...when strawberries are in season?

You have a strawberry fest!

Fruit pizza...

Strawberry bruschetta (my personal favorite)....

Strawberry cake...

And, of course, no strawberry party would be complete without chocolate covered strawberries!

We also had lemonade with frozen strawberries, and vanilla ice cream with strawberries on top. YUM!

Thanks to everyone for the delicious treats!
