Animals, Animals, Animals!

We had another fun filled weekend.....

Saturday we went and putzed around this great Amish Farmer's Market and then had lunch in their little restaurant. Cute and cozy! Good food to boot!!!

Sunday we ended up going to the Philly Zoo and had a blast. I do have pictures but the battery in my camera was dying so those will be up soon. Max was in heaven and wanted to look at everything - which is no way you can accomplish in one single day. We ended up buying a year's membership (ends up being sooo much cheaper, even if you just go twice a year) and so we are going to try and go one more time before the summer is over with - hopefully with the grandparents - both sets maybe!

This Wednesday we are leaving for our very first camping trip as a family. Karl's brother wants to make this a yearly tradition and I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Excited to see how Max and does and nervous to see how Max does. I bought this little blow up mattress bed just for a toddler (kind of has built in bumper guards) and I am hoping that he doesn't just crawl out of it and never go to sleep....PLUS being that I am seven months pregnant I make TONS of visits to the bathroom and am hoping that we have bathrooms near our site....otherwise I may just sleep in the bathroom stall...lol. Just kidding - kind of! :)

I am sure that I will have tons of pics to post after the trip....stay tuned!

Ho-Hum....

I haven't wrote in a while and basically it's because I don't have alot going on right now. Things are kind of boring....

Last weekend we went to a birthday party - that was fun.

About a week ago Karl (Mr. Handy Man himself) put up a new screen door off the of our living room. So now we get a great breeze and have easier access to the little deck.

This weekend we were planning on going to the Philly Zoo but being that the entire East Coast is going to be slammed with MORE rain we have decided to go to the Aquarium in Camden. Max and I have been there before, I think it was like January, so I am curious to see if he pays more attention to all the animals now that some time has passed. :)

We are planning our very 1st camping trip with Max for the Fourth of July. That should be interesting. Me pregnant and Max sleeping in a tent. Wish us luck and lots of patience! HA!

Emma is doing well. My next check-up is on Monday. I am getting huge, so I am sure that means she is getting huge or at least I think so. Starting to think we should get her room going but havn't really had the motivation to do it yet.

That is about it in a nutshell. :)

Atlantic City....

Saturday was a free day for Karl and I. Mom-Mom came down and watched Max for us so we could do a date night.

We actually got more than a night. Karl got out of work around 11ish and we decided to head to this cool BBQ contest one of his buddies at work told him about. Well it tuned out to be not so cool - BUT we ended up deciding to head down to Atlantic City just to get out and d0 something.

Karl had warned me before that it's nothing like Vegas and the last time he was there it was kind of iffy on the "clean" mark, but I was out of the house without a diaper bag so we went for it.

It was actually a lot of fun. We walked around the boardwalk, met up with one of the guys he works with and his girlfriend, had some lunch, gambled a little, and just walked around some more. It was a nice day. We even got to sleep at the camper and got to SLEEP IN! Yes I said sleep in. It's amazing what a difference it is not waking up to a little talking and laughing to himself at 6 am every day....we got up around 8 am, went and had breakfast and headed back to the house.....

All in all it was a wonderful day and we want to tell Mom-Mom THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
