Almost Summer!

What a wonderful few weeks we've had! You can tell it's getting to be the end of the school year, because both Emma AND Tony are getting pretty antsy!

We had a great Memorial Day weekend...Bradlee ended up with a double ear infection, but other than that, we had a very nice time! I got a lot of work done outside on Saturday...trimming the bushes and tree next to our garage (so you can now see the driveway and not get attacked going into the garage!) and mowed the lawn and really cleaned up the garage. We have saved a lot of things over the 5 years we've lived here (actually, 5 years on Monday!) and we're having a garage sale next weekend, so I sorted through a lot of stuff and pulled some things to sell.
Sunday we spent the day at my parents' house with some friends of theirs...it has become our Memorial weekend tradition. We had a nice time, and Emma loved playing outside, of course! She decorated Gramma and Boppa's driveway, and I even traced her body....Boppa was just hoping the Flint police didn't show up at his door!

Monday (Memorial Day) we went to Potter's Park Zoo in Lansing. It was going to just be the 4 of us, but Emma decided it would be fun for EVERYONE to come....so Tony's parents and sister, my parents and both of my sisters, Uncle Paul, Aunt Deb and the four of us all headed to the park for a grilled dinner and then most of us went into the zoo to see the animals. It's a small zoo, but wonderful for Emma and Bradlee to see animals and it's actually a really nice zoo! In August we're going to the Detroit (DETROIT JUST SCORED A GOAL AGAINST PITTSBURGH! YIPPEE!)... Zoo, but it will just be the 4 of us for sure! It's a tradition we started about 2 years ago...and we just love it!

Here are some pictures from our trip to Potter's Park:




As you can see, we all had a great time!!!
