San Antonio Zoo

Thursday we made the journey down to San Antonio. It was a "girls only"(or as the girls called it "no boys allowed trip") and their friend Reese came with us. They had a ball! One(my sleeper) got a little tired about three hours in and we called it a day(and still did not get to see everything!). Can't wait to take them back-
Some pics:

End May-June begins

The girls finished school, Queenie and Grandad left for Idaho, the bride/groom returned from Jamaica and things settled down into heat and humidity.

Some pics of what has been going on(besides pool visits, bike rides, lots of artwork, a little thing called CROCODILE DOCK and lots and lots of A/C!!):

"Graduation" at their preschool


Kate and her duck Fu-Fu(looks like they are headed to prom??)

Wedding

May-post wedding is pretty much a blur for me. I can safely say that I have finally recovered from being in bridezilla's wedding...it was awesome-every person involved did amazing. Laura was absolutely stunning and it was a fabulous night.
The girls and I practiced walking down the isle for about two weeks. Dan and I were so sure that only one(the youngest) would actually make it all the way there...we were wrong. Both girls stole the show as they pranced down it but stood silently by me(in front of everyone) throughout the ceremony. I got so many complements about them that night-melted my heart. We are so proud of them and how they acted not only during but after the ceremony.

Here are a couple of pics from the night






Loves her Aunt Funny so very much




Dan the fix-it man of the night
