Good morning! We had a wonderful long weekend which began at a Wildlife Ranch called the Sharkarosa.
They have many endangered and rescued animals and do a wonderful job of providing as much of a natural habitat for them, as possible.
They also have baby animals, including this little joey which was so soft.
The girls and Benjamin picked out some cute souvenirs.
On the way home I got a new Shamrock for my watergarden.
And tiny Fairy Moss.
Plenty of games were enjoyed this weekend, too. Especially Pictureka and Settlers of Catan.
We had family and friends over for a cookout yesterday. I got out my summer dishes.
Phillip made his family's recipe of Tuna Macaroni Salad.
And grilled delicious chicken.
We had strawberry shortcake and lemon pie for dessert. Thank you for taking a look at our fun weekend pictures. Let the summer heat begin!
Wow, it looks like you had a great weekend! We had friends over and grilled as well. Everything looks amazing! Yum!

ReplyDeleteKelli,
ReplyDeleteI'll ask Bob to take pictures of the rubber stamps and I'll email them to you. I looked at the Stampin' Up catalog hoping that they still included my sets but they don't. I think I have your email address still. I'll email you the info when I get it together.
