~Friends for 5+ Years~

Well I've been friends with Sassy & Stone for over 5 years and I don't think we really have any pictures of us together.  So tonight, we weren't sure what to do so we took some pictures.  (Now, some of you might know them as Map & Twirls in previous posts, but they requested their names to be Stone & Sassy.)

Stone, me, & Sassy

~Counsins~

Well, I've gotten to spend some time with my cousins (who live up in Dayton) a couple weeks so far through out the summer.

I enjoy spending time with my little cousins Lil' Man & Princess, as well as my older cousins Socks (he plays soccer) and Base (he plays baseball).

Me & Lil' Man

Me & Princess

We (my grandparents & I) brought Base & Socks back last week to hang out of a week.  So we went to the zoo on one of my days off 'so i could explain things to them & lead them around the zoo'. 

We had a lot of fun!  I have to say - I forgot how tiring it is to walk around the zoo whenever you come to enjoy it!  We walked for 6.5 hours.  I'm not putting all the pics up because I'm running short on time, but here are some pics from when Socks, Base, Gma, Gpa, & I went to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

The Polar Bears (now, this picture wasn't taken when we went - it was taken one evening I worked an overnight - but here it is.)

Base & I

Socks trying to give Base the Lorikeet.

Gma & Base on the boat ride in Austrailia and the Islands.

We had a ton of fun spending the day at the Zoo and I hope maybe we can go again sometime this summer.

~Playing With the Dogs~

This is Map (inside joke). 

This is Map,

Map likes his hat,

When dog got his hat,

He was a very angry cat.

(OK, not really a cat, but it rhymed)

This is Orea attacking Map.

Oreo chasing Child.

Good, Oreo, good dog!

BAD DOG!  No, it really didn't hurt that bad. . .

Remember when I said Map was an angry cat when the dog got his hat?

Picture proof. 

Oreo took Map's hat & ran all around the yard.

Twirls trying to retrieve hat. . .

Not sure where the hat is, but Oreo & Map are wrestling. . .

There's the hat!  Child holding the hat away from Oreo, while Map is on the ground.

Child keeping the hat away from Oreo.

Eventually the hat was returned, however when we returned to my house, a half an hour game of keep-away began.  It consisted of keeping Map's hat & shoe away from him.  He was a very good sport about it & we all ran around.  I have a feeling that 4 against 1 isn't very fair, but no one really seemed to mind.

~Yes, We All Hang Out~

Well, since my mom & sibs left Ohio on the 2nd of May,  I have been spending time with the neighbors across the street.  Even though I can be crazy at times (haha) we all still hang out!

Me & Twirls. . .

Hanging out in the sun (while ND is supposed to get 6-8 inches of snow. HAHAHA!)

Smiles from Twirls & me. . .

Me & Awesome-Dude!

After playing some basketball with Awesome-Dude & Twirls, we . . .

. . .caught butterflies!  *ok, not really - there weren't any around, but it was fun jumping*! lol

. . .Twirls spun Awesome-Dude on the swing. . .

AAAAHHHH!!!!

Hanging out a few days before - without our swimsuits. . .
