How much can you fit in a weekend?!

OOoofta! We had a busy (but great!) weekend! We had company come stay with us, hosted guests to welcome Benton into this crazy world and went to the county fair -- twice! To say the least, we were pooped out when Sunday afternoon hit.

We had to go back to the fair on the last day to ride the ponies and use up the rest of the tickets!

* Sorry that the blog is looking kind of drab :( I am in the process of trying to update the look and in the meantime this "exciting" banner will have to do! *

This past weekend we headed to the Como Zoo! We unfortunately spent more time in the car than we did at the actual zoo. We were rained out :( BUT the time we did get to look around was fun and we made the most of it!

Right after I took this picture the gorilla turned around and looked at Kynzley, scared her half to death!!!

She was a seal :)

We had a great 4th of July! We spent the beautiful day with family swimming, running around the yard and doing fireworks. Grandma Deb also came down for the extended weekend to meet Benton.
