It feels like most of this summer we spent traveling, and most of the traveling was to weddings! We had lots of fun and many adventures!
After we got back from Florida we headed to a wedding in Kansas City for one of my Mom's best friends son's. We left Jeff at home to take care of Max!
Here are my sweet babies after a day of traveling.
And here they are at the hotel pool burning off some energy! Not so sweet any more!
Mom and the girls thought this sign would be hilarious when Jared and Darryl showed up.
Finally wedding time!
Jared and Michele.
Mom's hair that I did!
Mom and her friend Carol.
Have fun with my girls!
And here is how we look after a night of partying!
Before we left KC we made a quick trip to visit my cousin Adam and his wife Danielle, as they welcomed their third daughter into the world! Hello Presley!!
And back home we attended the reception of my cousin, Kim and her husband Rock.
Danielle and I.

A little line dancing.
Julia was just over it!
We did sneak in a quick trip to Tanganika with friends!
Feeding giraffes!
Feeding lemurs.
Feeding the birds!
And last but not least, a camel ride!
Julia has been asking to climb the wall at the YMCA, so I finally agreed to a family class on Saturdays.
Here she is geared up and ready!
Natalie went first and to our surprised, climb to the top of the 50 foot wall! The instructor was as shocked as we were.
And then Julia went, and to our surprise, made it about 7 feet.
Jeff gave it a try and almost made it!
And then Julia asked Jeff for help.
The circus is in town!
Waiting for the pre show!
Enjoying seeing the animals up close!
Julia was chosen from the group to help with acrobats during the pre show.
And here are all the kids lined up to do one huge jump rope jump during the pre show.
The girls joining in on the pre show dance!
We have also had lots of random fun as the summer has come to a close.
I went out with girlfriends and enjoyed a "lick the plate" dinner, which was molecular cooking.
Natalie and Julia got to hang out with friends, this time it is Acacia.
We took flowers to Grandma Ann's grave. Julia was so sweet, she said, "I think this will make her smile."
We have been obsessed with Frozen, and all things Frozen.
We went to lunch with friends, this time with Miss Imani!
And dinner with friends, this time with Acacia.
And we went shopping with friends, this time with a bad attitude.
Jeff and I found time for a date night or two.
We made a few crafts with our sea shells.
Found some fabulous swim suits on clearance.
We still rock our horse slippers!
We learned how to eat ribs.
Julia is getting so much better at writing her name!
We went to a Frozen party.
We still torment Max.
We got another box of Frozen goodies in the mail.
We had a sleepover!
Jeff had to coax the girls to go to sleep and stop talking.
We went swimming.
And found more Frozen goodies.
And swam with more friends.
With school starting tomorrow, we are wondering where the summer went! To get ready we got pedicures!
I don't know about the girls, but I am really sad that summer is over and school starts tomorrow. I guess it is time to close this chapter and see what the next one brings.
