Saturday #14--June 13, 2009

A Day With My Nieces!

My brother Brian invited me to go with him and my niece Lauren to the zoo. It was fun--especially to see Lauren's reactions to some of the animals.


I tried to introduce Lauren to cotton candy...she wasn't all that interested and didn't really like it. Luckily she handed her slimy cotton candy remains to her dad and not me.


After the zoo I headed to Orem where SummerFest 2009 was in progress. Max & Brityn entered baby Madeline in the Baby Contest. I arrived just as they announced her as the 1st Place in her age category 0-4 months! Madeline got a certificate, a t-shirt, a medal and an invitation to ride on a float in the parade. She slept pretty much through the whole thing!
So, of course, as a proud aunt I stayed for the parade. A summer parade on a Saturday evening (even if there are threatening rain clouds) is a great Saturday o' Fun activity. Look! There's my elementary school represented! And while these kids are not from Orem High's marching band, I took their photo because it always cracks me up to see kids playing instruments which are bigger than they are!
I'm not sure what Jennifer did on Saturday. But I bet it was FUN!!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY DEAR, HAPPY DAYS WILL COME TO YOU EACH WEEKEND, IF I HAD ONE WISH THEN IT WOULD BE TO SPEND A FEW OF THEM , YOU WITH ME! Ha, very attractive. Just be glad you didn't have to actually hear me sing it! Hope you had a great day though. Looks like you did. Is your back ok? You look cute in your picture in this post too!

I am thinking you and Jen should go to the airport and purchase a plane ticket to the next plane you can catch, just like in Yes Man when they ended up in Omaha, Nebraska. Maybe, just maybe you would end up in Lexington, KY or Louisville, KY or Cincinnati, OH which are both an hour away from Lexington. I would gladly pick you up!
