And I think to myself, "What a wonderful weekend!"

Caution: picture overload. So don't say you weren't

forewarned.

First things first- this past Thursday, the 31st, was my little brother's 22nd birthday and despite my best intentions, this picture didn't get posted. So here's a late birthday greeting from the Fraz and me.

Next up: our zoo weekend! We had Grammie here to visit starting on Wednesday of last week. Then, on Friday, Mae Mae and Pop and Grandpa Jim came over. We had a joint birthday celebration for Pop (whose birthday was last weekend) and Grammie (whose birthday is next week)!

The weather was really beautiful and with so many people around it meant there was always someone (and in most cases, multiple someones) to blow bubbles, and draw with sidewalk chalk, and play in the sandbox...

Then it was off to Tyler for Frazier's first trip to the zoo!

I really think Frazier had the quintessential first zoo trip experience- every exhibit was a photo op and with four cameras and one video camera...our visit was well documented. He pet some goats, fed some birds and got cool surprises from the gift shop courtesy of all those grandparents we took with us. :) What more could you want from a zoo trip? He even got the benefit of having Mae Mae and Grammie to play with on the ride home!

What a weekend. What a happy, memorable weekend.
