Fun in July

In addition to the Fourth of July and our trip to Wisconsin, we had lots more fun in July. Here are a few highlights.

Wade Oval Wednesday

Once again this year, we're enjoying the free concerts on Wednesdays at Wade Oval.

Brainard Spray Park

Ainsley was invited to a birthday party for her friend Lauren from daycare. It was at a local splash park, and Ainsley had so much fun running around with her friends.

Picnic at Aunt Wynnie's house

Aunt Wynnie had a picnic at her house in July, and we enjoyed seeing the whole clan. Ainsley was re-introduced to her cousins and especially had a good time playing with Serenity & Elise - the only two girls her age in a family full of boys! There were so many fun things to do at Aunt Wynnie's house that Ainsley didn't want to go home at the end of the day!

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
On a recent trip to the Cleveland Zoo, we explored the Dinosaurs exhibit. It was pretty amazing to see the real-size dinosaurs, as though we were roaming the Earth alongside them. It was like being in Jurassic Park! Some of the dinosaurs even moved and roared. Ainsley was little afraid at first, but it didn't take long until she got right up close.
