Who will win the stare off, Seth or the cow?

Last week was a fun filled week. Monday I had a doctor's appointment and all is going well with the baby. Jacob and Emma came in with me and were able to hear the baby's heartbeat. That was very exciting for them. Emma is convinced that we are having a girl, we do not know what we are having, and the best part is she wants to name her Sparkles.



After the doctor appointment we all headed up the the National Zoo. This has become a regular spot for our family this year. The kids really enjoy going. Monday we went with grandparents, aunts and cousins. It was a fun, exhausting day.



Wednesday night Aunt Laura and the kids, minus Justin who was at Scout Camp, came to our house for the night. We got up Thursday morning and went to Greenbriar State Park. They have a lake with beaches. All of the kids had a lot of fun. Laura and I were ready to go long before the kids.



After the beach we went to South Mountain Creamery. We were able to see them milk cows, pet the calves and eat ice cream. Emma ecspecially loved the baby cows and they enjoyed sucking her hair too.



Friday we went to Aunt Gretchen's for the 4th. We went swimming. The kids were very tired and were all asleep by the time we got home so I was the only one who saw any fireworks, maybe next year.



It was a busy week but also a lot of fun.
