We have been keeping busy around here, and with having the 4th of July in the middle of the week, I have kind of lost track of what day it is! We spontaneously took Kenley to the zoo last weekend, and luckily we went early because after we were able to see a few animals, go to the butterfly & stingray exhibit, and see the dolphin show, a HUGE storm came in. We were running through the zoo trying to find shelter and decided to head for the car. We were a little too far and ended up getting drenched and then standing under the little viaduct that is the entrace to the zoo until that started flooding. We were ankle deep in water when we decided it would be best for Ray to run and get the car and Kenley and I waited under a little hut and then made a run for it. I felt bad that she was getting pelted in the face by the rain, but there wasn't much we could do. We were glad we made it out of there, but we didn't get our picture with the Kangaroo this time.
On the 4th, we were at my brother-in-laws parent's house. They have a party every year, and it was especially nice to be in thier beautiful pool since it was 90+ degrees outside. We spent the whole day swimming, playing volleyball, and eating. I was so surprised Kenley stayed up so late, and was able to watch the fireworks. I was completely prepared to have to take her inside their house because I thought she would be afraid of the noise. The first one or two she whimpered for a second and crunched up to me, but then looked at me and said, "again?" I should have known she would be fearless! She was also brave in the water and even stood on the diving board and "jumped in" with the help of Uncle Greg! Next year, we're signing up for swimming lessons!
The rest of the week was spent doing lots of water activities since it stayed super hot. We went to a splash pad, Orland Pool, and played in the sprinkler in the back yard. I re-opened the Garage Sale for a little bit on Friday, but it was SO hot I closed around 12:00. My mom was there to help me and we were both exhausted after a few hours of being in the heat. This week I need to clean everything up and donate a lot of items. I am so happy that we were able to get rid of a lot of stuff and make a decent amount of money.
Last night Ray and I went to my co-worker's wedding. It was a lot of fun to see all of my friends from work, and I know they all enjoyed hanging out with Ray too. I just don't understand why I can't party it up the way I could a few years ago because I was feeling the effects of it last night and today. I guess that's what happens when your almost 30 (noooo.....!!!) Today has been a lazy morning/afternoon of, eating taco bell, and watchin tv. Just because I'm getting older doesn't mean the cure for a hangover will ever change!
