We visited the zoo at the end of August.  We couldn’t resist, the price was right–FREE!

It was Dragonfly’s first trip to the local zoo.  He nearly leaped out of his seat when he saw the first animal.

Papi was our tour guide for half of the day.  He definitely kept things interesting.

Papi could be found on Dad’s shoulders for the other half of the day.

Rose and I enjoyed our time together when Dad would go ahead with the Little’s.

We were able to treat the kids to some rides at the nearby amusement park since our zoo entrance was free.

It was a splendid day and wonderful way to enter the new school session.  DEO GRATIAS!

Dragonfly and Papi.

Rose enjoyed time with her cousin at a swim team party.

We had some family fun with tie-dye for the swim meet.

Rose swam the backstroke, freestyle and relay.

Sparkles swam butterfly, backstroke, and freestyle.

Sweetie lost her her two front teeth within a week of each other.

Papa took the kids to watch Cars.  They were excited to have seen the Papamobile.

The kids are willing to to anything to stay cool. 

Dragonfly loves getting others wet.

I’m far from my goal but persevering to be healthy and glorify God.  I’m embracing all obstacles and offering them up for those in need.  My toes have been one of those obstacles.  Running has taken its toll.  I’m officially without toe nails.  All for!
