June 2013

Summer time!! We were so excited! ...and then we all got sick :/. Luckily, it didn't last too long and we got busy having fun.

 On Father's Day, we started out with German pancakes, and later went to the splash park in the afternoon. Lilli had a blast, even after they turned the water off ( which happens every time we go there), and Cason and I enjoyed a moment to relax.

The best part of the month was the shriner's circus. I had mentioned to Cason that it was coming to tow, but he didn't seem too interested, so I forgot about it. Then the morning of, he randomly brought it up, and we decided to go for it. We headed downtown a little early so we could have some yummy brick oven pizza and italian sodas.

We got to the main event pretty early so we could get good seats ( which we did), but it also meant that we had to keep lilli entertained for over an hour. She started with her first ever pony ride. Amazingly enough, they let her ride for a long time, and she loved it. Cason then convinced me to go for an elephant ride with her. What an experience! Our little trip was WAY too short, but I don't think either of us ever expected to be on such a huge and amazing animal, and I'm happy that I got to share it with her. After that, it was time for cotton candy and for the show to start! I thought it was great! I'm sure it wasn't the most legit circus show in the world, but I had nothing to compare it to, and thought it was a lot of fun. Lilli was unsure at times, but enjoyed herself overall. She was super excited about the tigers, and was then immediately crushed when she found out that she wouldn't be able to ride them! Her favorite part were the doggies, especially the one dressed as a stuffed elephant.  She also got today in a huge bounce house during intermission which was a bit stressful, especially when it was time for the show to start again. She was no happy! But, it was nothing that an icee and more circus fun couldn't fix.

After the show, we let lilli play in a fountain, which was definitely her favorite part of the night! She was so happy!! By the end of the night, we had spent WAY too much money, but we were all happy and tired from a wonderful day.

We did a lot of apartment hunting this month, but eventually ended up deciding to stay where we are. We couldn't afford anything that we were interested in, and we decided the whole ordeal just wasn't worth the hassle.

June also included lots of time at grandma and grandpa's house and a few dips in the pool. This girl LOVES water...no matter how cold it may be, and even if her bathing suite " didn't show off her boobies good".
