Last Weekend of Freedom!

So I guess you could say our summer went out with a bang! We had a wonderful weekend full of friends, family and fun! Friday we started off by going to the zoo with Em and Dawson - so much fun!! Jack loved having a male buddy and I always have a blast with my Emily. We got some awesome pictures - including some of our silly boys. Jack, as usual, is totally up for anything and Dawson is, well, let's say a little more cautious! Dawson had a complete break down at the zoo when faced with the camels. "I don't like them!" " They eat me!!" I have never felt so bad and laughed so hard all at the same time! :)


Poor Dawson...those camels are scary!! ;)


Jack in a cage....again....


The otters say "hello!"


Jack at "Otter Jack's" - Sorry he isn't looking, he's busy flirting with the girl working behind the counter!


Jack's first carousel ride!

Friday evening Ashley and Ben came to have dinner with us! Jack loves company and the Burnette's were no exception!

Sweet Ashley! She is going to make a FABULOUS mother in just a matter of months! :)

On Saturday we had a visit from Courtney, Kaylynn, Mimi and baby Isaac! Jack and Jason got to meet Isaac for the first time, which was extremely sweet. Jack took to Isaac immediately! (Too bad he won't have one of his own around the house any time soon!!)



Meeting Isaac....what beautiful boys!!


Uncle Jason and baby Isaac


Being cute is hard work!! :)

We wrapped up Saturday with dinner at Barley's with Jason and Deidra. Jack spent some quality time with Nana. We all had a wonderful evening!!

On Sunday Jack enjoyed a two and a half hour nap - which is TOTALLY out of character for him! He must have partied at Nana's just as much as Jason and I partied at Barley's! :) While he napped I went shopping for some back to school clothes for myself. I got lucky and found some great stuff at the Dress Barn. I will be totally honest and say that I never thought I'd even find clothes I'd like at a place with such a name. I mean honestly they might as well call it the Pig Trough - I mean really...why put the word barn in the name of a nice clothing store!!? But all the same it was an extremely successful shopping trip. We ate a nice dinner at Louis's with mom and came home to crash for the evening. Tomorrow it's back to the real world of work. It's sad that another summer has come and gone...but we sure have had one heck of a great time!! Many thanks to all those who made it so special! :)
