Are we nuts?! Yep! That about sums it is up. If you are wondering what I am talking about, the Furr's are relocating once again. We are heading to Tennessee!
Ahhh, warmer winters, hot summers, just what a southern girl needs!

Garden results
It has been a long time since we have had a garden! Virgel is pretty happy about having purple hull peas again. I must admit, my dinner with fresh fried okra was pretty awesome. No one around here knows what either one of these things are! With peas, there is growing peas, then shelling peas. Virgel has LOTS of help. It was pretty cute. They both thought they were helping out so much!
Proud of her pea!
She was working with Daddy in working on the peas. She was so proud of little pea!
Back to the Zoooooo!
Be careful what you ask for! We don't watch the news much. Sometimes it would be a REALLY good idea. The kids said they wanted to go back to the zoo, so we thought - why not. Off we went. Well, we didn't realize that it was the 100th anniversary of the Mutual of Omaha and they were celebrating by a FREE minor league baseball game at Rosenblatt (right next to the zoo) AND FREE entry to the zoo. So, the four of us ended up being four of the 40,000 people at the zoo that day!!!! Yes, that was 40,000!!!! We got there late enough the game was over and a lot of people had left, but is was still crazy. At least it was free!!
Excited!
The first "cat" we saw was a tiger. The kids were so excited and were surprised at how big it was!
The aquarium
Of course, we had to go back to the aquarium again. I think that is where most of the people were as well. You couldn't hardly move. They even had the emergency exits open!

Omaha Zoo
Virgel made a road trip to pick up his Mom, so I took the kids to the zoo. Ani had told us that was something that you had to do on summer vacation! Where does she come up with this stuff? We had fun, and I was worn out. The zoo is really big and we didn't make through all of it. Of course, they got to ride in the wagon while pulled them up and down the hills. Ani said we can go back tomorrow to see the rest. . . .maybe not!
Giraffes
For some reason, Ruston loves giraffes. He has a little stuffed one he sleeps with, so he was very excited to see this "really big giraffe"! It was so close to the side the kids really enjoyed seeing him.
One of the favorite parts!
They love the aquarium. They have so many sharks in there. Ani just keep jumping and yelling another SHARK!!!!

Happy Fourth of July!
We had a few fireworks and kids really enjoyed it. I was shocked a how cold it was. The kids and I had jackets on!! We still had fun. This state does have some pretty strict fireworks laws, so we didn't get our usual "big" stuff. Oh, well, the kids didn't notice! We missed you Roger and Naomi.
My Boy
O.k. so it was a bad hair day, but you have to give me credit for being willing to post it! As you can see we both have on jackets! It was COLD.
Cool
Sparklers are cool. They did really good taking turns. Two with sparklers at once is tooooo much!
