BIRDS!!!!



We took a visit to the zoo this past weekend.  Something we do quite often.  Well, I should say Chad takes the girls quite a bit.  I go occasionally.  We took a visit to see the Lorikeets.  Cute little parrots that fly free and for 1 dollar, you can buy syrup to feed them.  Avery is supposed to be our resident bird lover, however we found out that she is afraid of birds at least when they are up close and personal.   Chad was quite popular!!!  Afton has no fear at this point in her life and was ready and willing to participate in feeding the birds.  I know, I know, she looks a little "relaxed" in this shot.  It was hard to keep Avery calm and take pictures at the same time.  If you see Afton, ask her if she is a pirate.  She will reply "Arrrrggghhh".  So stinking cute!

Blooms & Butterflies






Today we took the girls to the Franklin Park Conservatory.  Avery was so fascinated by the butterflies, and those fish (Afton liked them too)!!!  The cactus chair was pretty cool too!

Strawberries!!!






After a few days of rain and 50 degree weather, Friday June, 5th proved to be a beautiful day!  It was sunny and a very comfortable 70 degrees when we got to Circle S farms.  I planned an outing to Circle S for my moms group Mops.  It was also a treat to have G'ma and G'pa Thomas out to help with the girls and enjoy the wonderful strawberry bounty!  The girls had a great time, and Afton sure is a strawberry pickin' pro!!!!  Avery also is proving to be quite the informative chatterbox as she made a few comments to our hayride driver.
