Akron Zoo Last Week: Awesome!

We heart the Akron Zoo. It was just big enough that Harvey could walk the whole time! No elephants, but they did have two lions and a tiger. I wish we lived closer so that we could get a pass and go every weekend.

Yesterday we went "fishing" at the lagoon. No hooks yet, we tie a matchbox car to the end of the line and practice casting. He is doing awesome. We had fun until a sassy Mallard female flew to the lake and took charge of the ladies already present. She did not like Squeakie and she let us know it. 

Quack, Quack, Quack!

We Found a Frog Today!

I found a frog in the yard today and promptly gave it to Harvey. After much handling of said frog it was time to set him free. Harvey set him about a foot a way from Lou and he sought shelter from his particular storm with her. It was hilarious. She didn't mind him one bit. He is on her right leg! 

Aquarium with Grandpa and Hiking; Last Weeks' Fun

Grandpa treated us to the Cleveland Aquarium last weekend. It was pretty awesome. Harvey loved touching the rays and looking at the sharks and eels. 

Then we went for a hike at Salt Fork Lake this past week. It was 83 degrees and the humidity was around 99% and then it rained on us; then it got really hot. It was muddy and buggy but we made it. We had lots of bug spray. The bugs are an issue here. They are everywhere! But it has been a good summer for lightening bugs. 

 H loved to sit on the dock. He was trying to wrap his brain around the fact that they were floating on the water. 

 Refueling on the way back. The trail was 1.8 miles but the heat got to both Squeakie and Harvs. It was a long walk out. 

 Harvey is way up on the hill with the wooden sheep at the homesite. 

 Harvey is this hardcore!

 Squeakie struggled quite a bit on this hike. Her hiking days are nearing an end. :(

 I want a house built of limestone blocks. This picture is not so great because it was cloudy, but this 150+ year old house was BEAUTIFUL! I want one.

Our morning's work last Friday; well for about 20 minutes anyway!

Found Adorable Pic; Last Day as a Busy Bee

This was taken from my cell phone, therefore the quality isn't so great. This is the end of Harvey's first year of preschool. He is in the front row (white t-shirt) fourth over. He did a wonderful job singing. They were all so adorable. There was such wonderful food afterwards.
