Fourth of July in Birmingham

We drove down to Birmingham for the Fourth. Paul had to get back to classes in Dayton, but Evelyn and I got to stay for a few extra days. The weather was warm, but we ventured out and took in the sights and found lots of ways to stay cool!

Grammy found a great shark pool for me at Aldi!

Kisses!

Notice how Evelyn starts her crazy dance when she sees her reflection in the glass door off- camera. Please try to ignore my HORRIBLE singing!

We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo....

We visited the zoo!

You can't tell it from this picture, but the train ride was the highlight of the visit to the zoo for Evelyn. She liked some of the monkeys and seeing the seal show, but riding on the choo choo train was thrilling!

Birmingham Botanical Gardens

Poppy found a place for me to dip my feet in the water!

Grammy, Poppy and Evelyn near the Zen Garden. Evelyn liked the idea of a garden of rocks. She was sad that she couldn't go in and pick them up (a favorite pastime).

I really like fountains!

Poppy let me ring the bell!
