Beginning of Summer!!

This marks the first official week of summer!!  My friend Debbie and I took the kids, plus 1 to the animal park on Tuesday.  It was such a great day!  There were hardly any people there, the sun didn't come out until noon, and the kids did awesome.  

 How cute are these three???  They all got along so well throughout the day.

Robert's coworker's wife found this book and gave it to us.  This is what I call Annie all the time - Annie Bananie!  It was our first chapter book together and I was happy with how well Annie was able to pay attention to the story with very limited pictures.  It was a cute little story and didn't take us much time to get through it, but now she wants to read chapter books.  I just started to read Flat Stanley to the kids.  That is such a weird book by the way.  Anyhow, Annie is actually looking at the words as I read because she will pick out words that she recognizes, especially when we were reading Annie Banana - her name was all over that book!  I am hoping to instill a love of reading with my kids!  Now, I just need to find a first good book of the summer.
