We were super excited to have Nana and Poppa here with us this week. Poppa came down to help us redo our bathroom and Nana came with him. She wasn't about to let him come all the way down here and her not get to come see Brianna. While the guys worked in the bathroom, the girls spent alot of time away from the house(since we didn't have a toilet at home to use). We went to the movies to see Marmaduke. We took Brianna and Kyleah out for an ice cream treat one evening. We visited Build-a-Bear, Target, and Toys r Us---all of which resulted with Brianna being spoiled by Nana. Nana also treated us to a pedicure. I wish you could have seen the looks on Brianna's face as her feet were soaked in the tub of bubbly water and her nails were painted. It was so great to have them here. We miss them already.
Poppa, we thank you so much for all the hard work you put into our bathroom. We couldn't have done it without you!

RIVERBANK ZOO
Last weekend, Brianna and I went with our Girl Scout troop to Columbia for an overnight weekend trip. On Saturday we visited Riverbank Zoo. We spent 5 hours looking at animals, feeding giraffes and lorakeets, riding ponies, rock climbing, and taking 4 trips on the carousel. Needless to say we were wore out. After leaving the zoo, we had lunch at McDonalds then checked into the hotel. Brianna spent the rest of the afternoon swimming in the indoor pool(thank goodness, I don't know if I could have handled any more heat outdoors). That night, the girls had a slumber party in our room. We ate pizza, popped popcorn, and did our nails. It was a lot of fun. The following morning, we had breakfast and took another dip in the pool before leaving. On our way out of Columbia we stopped at EdVenture Children's Museum. This was a perfect way to start our summer!

EDVENTURE CHILDREN'S MUSEUM
Brianna had fun "pretending" with the exhibits. Her favorite part was visiting the butterfly gardens. There were so many pretty butterflies.

SLEEPOVER AND FRANKIES
In celebration of doing such a great job this school year, Brianna had Kyleah sleepover Friday night and we all took a trip to Frankie's Fun Park Saturday. The girls enjoyed a night of Wii Mario Power Tennis and for some reason Brianna thought she needed to dress up like Princess Peach, hence the fancy gown and tiara. The girls had fun at Frankies. They played video games, tumbled and climbed in the Fun House, played a game of miniature golf, and managed to take a ride in the bumper boats. Brian and I wanted to play too, so we took the girls for a spin on the Go-Karts. Of course, I'm not that great of a driver and Brian and Brianna passed me and Kyleah 3 times!!! It was a fun day and the girls really deserved it.
1st Grade Awards Day
On Wednesday, Crestview Elementary had Awards Day for the 1st Graders. Brianna received a Super Attendance and Accelerated Reader Ribbons for the 4th Nine Weeks. She also received a March of Dimes Reading Medal and was recognized by her Art teacher as an Awesome Artist, for this she earned a certificate and pin. This is her second year receiving this recognition.
We are so very proud of her!
