1. We started Saturday off with a trip to the zoo with the Beltman and Steffan families. The weather was absolutely perfect and we got to the zoo right when it opened so the crowds were minimal. Ellie was able to ride the camel and Nick and Ellie fed the giraffe! We had a great time and wrapped it up with a picnic in the parking lot before heading home for nap-time.
2. After nap-time on Saturday we went to the neighborhood block party! It was a great turnout and the kids loved the firetruck and ice cream truck that stopped by after dinner. Have I/we told you this week how much I love our neighborhood? You probably get tired of hearing it, but I/we really lucked out on the people that live near us.
3. On Sunday we made a last minute trip to Bass Pro Shop to buy a smoker! I have been asking Nick to get one for a while and we finally did! Nick smoked up some chicken and pork chops on Tuesday night. We had the chicken last night and the pork chops are on the menu for tonight's dinner. They were a little dry, but the flavor was amazing. A little adjustment to the cooking time and we should be perfect.
4. I cannot believe it is August already! Where has the summer gone? At least our August is a little less busy than June and July, although it is filling up quickly.
5. I am going to be an aunt again! My sister is due in January with her second little one! I think it will be a boy, but am sort of hoping for a girl so I can pass down large amount of baby girl clothes we have.
