4th of July/Kapri's visit

Well I haven't updated for a while, so this is going to be a long post with lots and lots of pictures.

On the 4th of July Celeste, me, and some of the other wives (Tasha, Stacy, and Cherise) decided to go to the Norristown parade in the morning. It was about 30 minutes long and consisted of a SEPTA bus, 2 clowns, the ENTIRE fire department and every fire truck in the county, and a few horses at the end. We still had a good time though. And anything to get us out of the house while the boys are selling is great. :)

Brinley's first time eating sugar... she sure loved it!

Brinley was begging for Brenton at dinner and as soon as I gave her to him she was so happy. It was so cute.

After dinner the we decided to go behind our apartment complex and light some of our own fireworks rather than putting up with Philadelphia traffic to go see the fireworks downtown. It was fun except Celeste and I didn't get the coolest fireworks... OOPS. We told the boys that they are in charge of getting them next year since they kept complaining. :)

Since Kapri is the only one at home right now, Cody decided to fly her out here for a weekend to hang out with us. The first day she was here we just kind of sat around and relaxed. We played games, went to the pool, and made muddy buddies (so good!). Then the other two days we took her to the beach and to the Philly zoo.

Brin with Kapri's glasses on. Normally she would have ripped them right off, but this time she just sat there and stared at us. It was so cute!

We also put Brenton's hat on her and she still just sat there contently.

We love our Sunday evening BBQs by the pool.

Someone told us that the Delaware beaches are less crowded that Ocean City, so we made the two hour drive to Rehoboth Beach to find that it was actually more crowded, and also more dirty, than Ocean City. Oh well... we still had a good time!

A bad attempt to get a good picture of the 3 of us...

The boys trying to get a good tan... Yes Brenton is wearing my sunglasses. He forgot his (imagine that). :)

AMERICA'S FIRST ZOO- opened 150 years ago!

I didn't know polar bears could live in the heat and humidity here... apparently they can.

There were peacocks running around everywhere.

You can't really see it, but that is an alligator behind us.

These were the coolest monkeys I've ever seen... pictures don't really do them justice though.

Naked mole rats- So ugly!
