Luckily, while I was vacationing in Florida, Heather generously volunteered to help organize playgroup for me. Thank you, thank you. The week we got back we had a lovely day at Anna's pool to look forward to. My kids were stoked because they were having a horrible withdrawel from Gramma's pool.
Happy boy.
Some new friends who moved into the ward, Krista and little Sophie.
Yay, for friends, sun and water fun.
A couple weeks later we headed over to the Akron Zoo to check out some of the new areas.Everyone really enjoyed the zoo animal carousal.
We were very happy to have our friends Jen, baby Addison, Erin and Colin join us too. Erin is Morgan's good friend from the Little Gym.
Here's Colin.
After we hiked up the big hill we headed over to ride the new train. It was a tight squeeze, especially for me, but we all managed to fit. It wasn't a super exciting ride but the kids enjoyed it. I don't think kids ask much from a train; just that it exists mostly.
The maze was a fun new addition.
Jen and Ava also drove up from another ward bounderies to join us.

This pirate ship kept the kids busy for quite awhile. It also turned their feet and behinds black. Lovely.
In the Jellyfish exhibit, we got to touch some marine life. Good thing Pepper is usually game for most anything and that these animals are not much bigger than her little hands.

Last Wednesday, we took our little adventure crew over to the Nature Realm in Akron. This is one of my favorite places near our home, no matter the season or weather. It was an overcast day but we all still had a great time checking out the animals inside and taking a walk through the herb garden.

Especially if this little cutie will always look this happy.
After our walk, we had lunch out on the back deck over looking a pond.
I am so grateful for playgroup. I really believe it is vital to stay-at-home moms with small children. I don't know what I would do without all of these fantastic women and their support and friendship. Thanks everyone for a great summer.
