Ohio and the Columbus Zoo

Cameron and I were gone for two weeks, the end of June and beginning of July. It was vacation time and we started in Ohio with our best friends the Shoemakers. We meet up with them in a small town in OH and spent a quick but great weekend together. We all got there on Friday evening and had dinner together, the girls didn't even go to bed until 10:30 that night. After they were asleep the adults planned our Saturday. We initially were going to go to some gardens place and then swim in the indoor pool our hotel had. Kim, however, was smart enough to pick up some brochures of OH things to do and we decided that the Zoo in Columbus would be a great place to go. It was only an hour and fifteen minute drive from where we were so we went on Saturday morning. Mind you the girls nor the adults didn't get to bed till late and Cameron girl was ready to go at 7 am! I figured she would nap some on the way to the zoo, but nope she didn't. Then we all thought she would crash at some point and time at the zoo, but nope she didn't. Cameron finally did crash on the way back to the hotel from the zoo! Here are some great pictures from our day at the Columbus Zoo.





Cameron did a lot of new things at the zoo. Like pet goats...




Touch some type of sea creature.....


Ride the Merry-Go-Round....



and touch a snake!


Thanks so much to our great friends the Shoemakers for meeting up with us in Ohio and driving Cameron and I back to NC to visit with my family! We love you guys and miss you so much!

Fall Vacation

Today Joe and Todd went to Fogcutter and watched the Bears game while Kim and I went shopping. We meet up with the boys and went to dinner at On the Border, a great Mexican restaurant, and then back to downtown Chicago to go see the Blue Man Group. We had a fun time there at Briar Street Theater and the show was very entertaining. At the end of the show they had everyone pass tons of streamers from the back of the theater to the front and through all of the paper I briefly lost my engagement ring. Luckily a girl found it who was sitting right behind me! I thanked her a million times and thanked God for letting us get the ring back. After wards the Blue Men we out in the lobby and we were able to take pictures with them! What an enjoyable night!

Joe and I can't believe that we have a 15 month old on our hands! Cameron girl is growing so fast and becoming such a sweet little person. She is very loving to us and is willing to go to our neighbors at any point and time. Cameron loves playing outside, going for walks, and playing with her friend Connor. She is still into books and will willing sit with them by herself or brings them to me for me to read to her. Cameron lights up when Joe gets home from work and will sign/ask for Daddy often through out the day. Cameron has become more attached to her blanket everyday. Cameron will rarely get out of her crib these days without clinging to her blanket. She doesn't need to take it with her when going places, she just likes having it with her right after a wake up time be it in the morning or after naps. At Cameron's doctor appointment she only weights 17 lbs, she only gained 8 oz in three months. The doctor wanted to do a urine sample to check for urinary track infection ...
