A Trip to the Vet

It was time for the cats to get their vaccines, so Katie tagged along to help carry them in and out.

This really makes me realize just how many pets we have!

The Parks

As always, our time in the parks was so much fun. We were there a short time, but we accomplished a lot.

Until next time, Disneyland!

A First Beignet

Disneyland, or even Downtown Disney, means treats. Katie decided to try her first beignet as her first treat this trip.

Our beignets were freshly made and very hot still. I liked it a lot, but it was hard to finish the whole thing.

A Fun Trip

Katie and I had a fun, short trip to Disneyland to celebrate its 70th anniversary. The day we got to town, we didn't have tickets to the parks, so we hung out in Downtown Disney.

This was one of the first things we passed that was out for the anniversary.

A Trip to the Zoo

We started our summer with a trip to the zoo. Our biggest goals were to see the baby elephant and to have fun.

When I was little, I loved finding this peanut-eating squirrel statue!

My mom loves the polar bears, but this was as close as we got to seeing one on this trip to the zoo.

We found the cute baby elephant!

You can't go to the zoo without a few souvenirs! 

Fresh Tomatoes

Katie and I love home-grown tomatoes in the summer time. We were so excited to see the tomatoes start to make an appearance.

Why are home-grown tomatoes so much sweeter?

Hello Summer!

It was a bittersweet day...the last day of 8th grade, the last day of middle school. 

I always hate to leave a school, but I'm excited to make some high school memories!
