The Start To Our Summer!

We started out our summer with a trip to the Racine Zoo! As a lot of you know, Payton has a strong love for animals! He already knows what sounds dogs, cows, ducks and lions make! We're working on the cats "meow!" We're very fortunate that in our city we have a wonderful zoo! They have a lot of animals and are adding on. They also have a great little petting zoo! They also have a small train, called the zoo-choo that drives around the zoo! It's so fun to take him to the zoo and see the excitement on his face! Payton got to pick out something from the gift shop. Of course he picked out a lion that growls! Enjoy the pics!

The zoo-choo! The next exciting thing on our summer to do list was my Uncle Rick and Kristin's wedding in Kalamazoo, MI. This took place the first weekend of June. It was a beautiful wedding and we had lots of fun spending time with family! Payton also used waterwings for the first time and did great!!!

Kyle and Alice got married on June 14. The weather was absolutely beautiful the entire weekend! The rehersal dinner was at my mom and Randy's house. The yard looked wonderful and of course the food tasted good! The ceremony was nice and the reception was filled with good food, good drinks, dancing and fun!!! Everyone had a blast! Everyone looked amazing too! It turned out so great after all of the planning and preparation. Sunday they had gift opening at their house! I took lots of pics. So I've posted some below! Enjoy them!
