Birthday Parties

Summer Fun

We had a free Saturday and decided to get in some summer fun while we still could and while the kids museum was still free to military families :-).

The public garden here in Dayton has a great children's area complete with splash stream and waterfall.

We also visited the local children's museum...

Evelyn escaped from jail.

She slid down a slide that went from the upper floor to the main floor, and she wasn't scared!

PT

Evelyn helps daddy with his push ups.

Opera!

Turns out that Evelyn loves opera. She regularly gives us renditions of her favorite songs in "opah" as she calls it.

The warm-up



The aria!

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!
