June 17th

We had a good weekend.

Friday evening we went to Eddie's sister Nina's house. They were having a birthday part for their son Ray. He turned 1 on the 12th. It was a pretty good time. There was cake. Yum!

Saturday we headed over to the Indy zoo. We had a good time. We started out the day with Eddie's sister Amber and her family. They had to leave early because they had an appt back home that afternoon. Here are some pictures:

Vallerie looking at penguins. She really liked it when they would swim past her.

Vallerie at the bird exhibit. This was her favorite part of the zoo. We spent the most time in here. She got so excited when a bird would fly on the little stick.

This little mask thing was after the bird exhibit. She had a blast acting like a bird. There was a flamingo on the other side, but it was too tall for her.

She stayed and watched the bear eat on the bone for a while.

In all we had a pretty good trip. Vallerie got a little fussy at times, but nothing too terrible. She wanted to see the elephants and nothing else for about 30 minutes. When we finally got to the elephants she didn't even look at them, and said she wanted to see the kangaroos... go figure.

We are planning to go again soon since we have the season pass. Maybe next time she will be more interested in things. If not, that's ok.

Sunday we stayed home most of the day. It was Father's day. I got Eddie a Pocket Hose. He's excited to use it. Vallerie made him a present. She colored on Popsicle sticks and then glued little fuzzy balls on them, then we glued them all together. I think Eddie liked it.

That afternoon we went to Walmart to get a few groceries.

I bought a printer off of a coworker. I hooked it up on Saturday and it works well. I printed off a few pictures. Now I can fill up the 10-15 picture frames I have at home with new pictures! I am actually pretty excited about that. It will be nice to put some decoration on the walls.

I haven't started any new crafts yet. I want to, but I just don't know what to do yet. Maybe I'll hop on Pinterest to get some ideas.
