Grandmama and Pawpaw came up for a visit on July 4th and spent a couple of days with us. We had such a great time! It was a rainy couple of days, but that didn't slow us down much. We were still able to grill out, play with bubbles outside (many times), and take a trip to the zoo!
Aunt Carrie bought these cute outfits for the girls for them to wear for the holiday. Thanks, Carrie!!:)
Hannah has a new found love for playing with bubbles. She smiled and laughed and jumped around the whole time someone was blowing bubbles.
If you tried to take a break from blowing the bubbles Hannah would start saying "BUBBLES, BUBBLES!"....in a bit of a panicked voice. No rest for the weary.:)

Sweet girls...
Hannah was so attached to Pawpaw this trip. She pretty much wanted him to hold her if he was in the room. She would get the biggest smile on her face when he bent down to pick her up. So sweet!

Bert fixed an amazing dinner for us on July 4th. He grilled chicken, corn, squash and zucchini and even made homemade peach ice cream. It was all SO good! It had been raining off and on all day, but he finally was able to get the grill started in a sunny patch. But of course it started raining again not longer after everything was on the grill! He had to brave the POURING down rain and some thunder and lighting to cook everything, but he got it done. I was stressed out about him being out there with the lighting, but he kept insisting he was fine. In the picture below you can see Bert at the grill wearing a Bugs Bunny poncho. I actually bought that poncho about 15 years ago on a trip to six flags. We dug it out when we realized the rain wasn't letting up....I think it's been worn maybe one time since I bought it. While Bert wasn't that excited about wearing a Bugs Bunny poncho...he was thankful for what protection it provided from the pouring down rain. Haha!
On Friday we took a trip to the zoo and had a great time!! The weather was great because it was cool, overcast and the rain held off for us!
Bert, his parents, the girls, and the giraffes!:)
Every other time we've been to the zoo both lions have been sleeping on this rock that you see in the picture below. The info sign said that these lions sleep about 21 hours a day....crazy! One of them woke up while we were watching them so I had to get a picture. I know the glass is really thick and the bars are really strong but this guy honestly still made me a little nervous. I enjoyed getting to see him awake and so regal-looking, but I was totally fine with walking on to the next exhibit!:)

We had a really fun 4th of July weekend! We were so glad Grandmama and Pawpaw were able to come up for a visit! We ended our weekend with a great meal at Mutt's BBQ. When Grandmama and Pawpaw left from there, Emily cried and cried as their car was pulling away... We all had a great time with them and can't wait till next time!
