Summer is here.....or is it?

So the summer weather hasn't really made an appearance around here at all since I have been done with school. It has been unseasonably cool and I can't even explain how much it has rained. This week is hoping to be the warmest it's been all summer. Please keep your fingers crossed as we need the sun!

Sophia and I have been keeping ourselves busy with indoor activities like: Barbies, Ponies, lots of art projects, and going to the library each week for books.

She had her first treat from the ice cream man this week which also makes it feel much more like summer then anything else. Of course she picked Scooby Doo. I was hoping it would be chocolate, but not my choice I guess.


This weekend we got the museum pass to go to the MN Zoo for a fraction of what it would normally cost. We saved about $40 by using the pass. Gotta love saving money! The day was cloudy and cool, but got sunny in the end. We had a wonderful time checking out all of the animals and having a picnic lunch. Next week, they will open a new penguin exhibit. We are planning to take a trip back to see it when it opens.
