Summer is About Friends!

The zoo is always one of Lexie's favorite places to visit, but it's always fun when she goes with a friend.  We were sitting at the dinner table and I told Lexie that we were going to the zoo and she told me very convincingly, "I'm sure Savannah would like to go with me to the zoo."  And we were so happy that she did want to go because Lexie had a ball with her.

No matter how many times we go, these kids just love climbing on this giraffe.

Lexie loves the huge fish tank and she got her daddy to go into the tunnel with her.

Then it was off to the fair with our favorite Taiwan brothers!  Last year it poured on us and this year it didn't look like the weather was going to be any better.  Luckily, for most of the night, it was just a drizzle.

We rode the merry go round only once this year.  She still has the biggest smile when she rides the horses, but she was quite a daredevil and chose to ride the roller coaster several times.  She rode the cars all by herself.  The first time she chose this gold convertible.  The second time, she was going to ride with Nolan, but she didn't like the car he was in, so she sat by herself in a purple one.

Lexie finally rode with Nolan on the helicopter.  These two are so funny because several times they were practically hanging out of the copter.

The highlight of the night was the petting zoo.  Lexie was in heaven being around so many animals.  Her favorite animal was the bunny rabbit.  She kept saying, "It's just like my Thumper."

She also liked following this cute little piggie around.

Lexie and Nolan ended the night by tormenting this poor Teddy Bear.  Poor guy, he didn't stand a chance with these two.

We are so fortunate that Lexie has wonderful children to call her friends.
