Is summer over?

I guess with September here, school starting, and the fall TV line up appearing on my television set.... then summer is over.


We took another little field trip to the SF zoo at the end of summer. The kids enjoyed it and all Drew wanted to do was find a grasshopper. Okay...the kid that hates bugs and never gets very close. But there was a insect zoo that we found and his bug request was granted. Lilly was just happy to see whatever animal was around.

Lilly happily helped Todd push the stroller.


They enjoyed watching the bears swim. This was the closest we got to any animal that day. I have heard I need to try the Oakland zoo and we will. With that said, the SF zoo is seeing very empty these days, so it was a treat to actually see the bears up close.


This is a very concerned look by Lilly when the train blew it's whistle.





The hit of the day for Drew was getting to make a regular penny into a special penny. We all know that machine that flattens out the penny and puts a print of your choice on it instead. "I hold my monies" Drew said all day.





We did ride the train, and I covered Lilly's ears when the whistle blew so she wouldn't jump off the moving train.


At the insect zoo they chose which creature to become. Drew not really center, but just pretend he is for better effect.





And then there was the wedding. The wedding that Todd got ordained online to perform for a close friend of his from college. Does the Pastor usually bust a move on the dance floor?



It was so fun for Todd and I to have some adult time. Here is a list of things I didn't do for three days while we on this little trip down to San Diego:

I didn't do dishes
I didn't change a diaper
I didn't get up in the middle of the night to console a child from a bad dream.
I didn't clean.

Things I did do:
Sleep in
Eat out every meal
Finish a glass of wine
Shop at an outlet mall that was sent from angels



The bride and groom- Misty and Eric


Todd performing the ceremony. He got many laughs and many snivels at the appropriate times.


Funny story about this picture. Notice how Todd was not in a tuxedo and standing on the very end. Eric did not ask him to wear a tuxedo. So the photographer kept asking Eric, "do you want this guy in the suit in this picture?" HA Todd was always on the end like a guest of the wedding creeping in the groomsmen pictures. We got a good laugh about this.






We were very happy to get home. We missed the kids. We missed our bed. Amen.
