Time Flies.....

*WARNING:  Long post filled with lots of pictures* I finally have some time to post on what we have been up to so far this summer.  The past month has been super busy, with something going on every weekend.  Justin and I started the summer off with a bang.  After our trip to LA, we found out that we would be going to Washington, DC a month later.  Justin was attending a Gene Therapy Conference for work, and I had the opportunity to tag along...FOR FREE!  Justin's company graciously paid my way to DC in exchange for a few hours of standing in the booth.  Piece of cake.  So, from May 19 to 23 we worked a couple hours at the booth and then spent the rest of the time taking in the sites.  I LOVE DC.  Here is a collection of some of the pictures from our trip.

 The next weekend was Memorial Weekend, which was also know as Moving Weekend for my parents.  Their new house was done and ready to go.  My mom had been busy bringing stuff over for the past couple of weeks, so all that was left to take to North Bend were the big furniture items.  It is still a work in progress, and my mom is having fun shopping for new items for the house.  I'm glad we are getting to enjoy it with them.

Last weekend, we took my little cousins to the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo.  For Adyson, it was her first time.  They were so good.  The animals were all out and active, since it was such nice weather.  Around 4pm, we decided we all had enough.  The girls picked out the stuffed animal they wanted have in memory of their fun-filled day, and we headed home.  Within 5 minutes of leaving the zoo, both girls were asleep.  I guess we wore them out. :)

Such cuties.  They had to get a picture with all of the animal statues in the Harmony Garden

Justin and Nessa on the Skyfari.

The girls LOVED the carousel. 

Well there you have it.  Even though it has been busy, it has also been a lot of fun.  This weekend we are doing NOTHING but RELAXING!
