Londyn Claire with her Grandpa

Charli and Grandpa checking out the giraffes at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. She just wasn't too sure about feeding it though. Conner loves to feed them!

Harper and his daddy checking out the giraff. Not quite sure what to think about that big animal and its long black tongue.

Charli and her daddy and Conner and his mommy checking out the lions!

Grandma and Charli feeding the little bird that had only one eye!

Braxton...sunscreen? check. Hat? check. Sunglasses? check. Paci? check. Favorite blankie? check. All ready for the zoo!

Braxton all smiles in his grandpa's arms! I think he was liking this zoo thing!

Grandpa and Harper riding the merry-go-round. Harper started out on a horse, but Grandpa says they had to sit down because Harper got dizzy (uh-huh...sure, Grandpa!)

Conner with mommy getting ready to go round!

Charli and mommy on the merry-go-round. (I think she kinda' liked it!)

Back at home...Conner giving his buddy, Teddy, a ride on his shoulders.

Harper...SOOOOO BIG! (yes, he is!!!!)

Grandpa and I bought kites for Conner and Charli and took them to the school ground to fly them. Charli's flew great...Conner's not so great, but Charli shared her's with her cousin.

Grandma and Charli sharing a moment together. She thinks ring pops are awesome!

Grandpa is such a good sport! This hat was made for Charli to wear. She didn't think she liked it at first but we had fun trying it on everyone else.

Amanda-Jo's Softball Tournament

Waiting in the duggout with her team mates.

Getting ready to hit the ball (see it coming toward her!) I was so impressed with her ability to play. Watching her reminded me of her mom when she used to play...but I think Amanda Jo is even more focused.
