Safari Fun in the Sun

We've never been to Africa. But we came close a few weekends ago because we went to a safari park near San Antonio and drove around looking at all kinds of animals.

Now...don't tell anyone, but because the speed limit in the park was 5 miles an hour and we're both short, we got to sit in the front seat. And we had the best time ever, though some of the animals were a little scary.

Cha Cha likes Janie's bed too

they grow up so fast...

Janie is now 18 months and is pretty much a total daredevil. She will climb up on just about anything so we thought it was time to get her a big girl bed. This weekend we went out and got her a mattress and the bedding. Brian scanned in some of the flowers from the bedding to print out on adhesive paper for the wall decals. Jane loves it and Charlotte tells me that she wants to sleep in here now too.

and a look back to what was before...

Yesterday was Charlotte's big dance recital. As you can see from the class below, none of them are really sure about what to do, but Charlotte does like to wave to all the people.

Here is Cha Cha and her red fairy friends Avery & Fallon.



Charlotte loved every minute (all 2 of them) that she was on stage.

Happy Birthday

It was fun to celebrate Brian's birthday with the girls this year. Charlotte picked out his cake - a mermaid barbie fairy cake - and picked out his present - a DVD. We all had a great time, but I think Cha Cha had the most fun since she got to open the presents and got to sneak a taste of the cake.
