Happy birthday America!

Well America gets to add another candle to its cake today! We almost decided not to go see the fireworks show because I have been pretty sick the last few days, but fortunately my brother basically rounded my whole household up and kidnapped us. I have to say that Conner really enjoyed his first fireworks show!
In other news...Conner and I went to the zoo this week. Yes, that is the third time this summer. What can I say? I love hanging out with other party animals!
Yep that is me riding a camel! I have been wanting to do this for about two years now. The first time I saw that you could take a ride I was pregnant, so hopping up there was a no go. Finally I decided to go for it, I just wished it lasted longer, I didn't want to get down!
Conner is increasingly interested In what is going on around him, he was really loving watching all the monkeys play, especially the gorillas. Maybe he thought they were related since I call him "my little monkey."
We took our first train ride, and let me tell you...this boy loves things that go fast, from what I can tell he is fearless.
This is the only group shot we got to take with all of our friends. It's so wonderful having a little group to play with. It is really fun to watch the kids interact with each other. (Plus let me tell you how awesome it is to have trusted people that will take turns holding babies so that we each can take baby free bathroom breaks haha.)
Oh my gosh! I don't know how to caption this other than.......how freaking cute is he!!???!!
Finally we ended our adventure at the zoo in the splash pad and he loved it! Savannah was the only one of us cool enough to completely jump in with the kids and get soaked. 

I am totally loving reconnecting with friends and having partners in crime to go on impromptu adventures.....who knows what we will get into next week!
