Summer is here!

We've all had a nice, somewhat busy weekend. Saturday was the Enormous Yard Sale. Our Bible Study group had so much stuff to sell. We held it at Pam's (#2) house, she lives across from the zoo, so there's a lot of traffic. We did pretty well! All the proceeds went to our mission trips. Pam and Lora are going to Peru the week after Mom and I are in Guatemala. I was soooo tired Saturday evening, yard sales are a lot of work!

Sunday we had church and then went to a graduation party for one of Ryan's students. Brooks really likes Danny and had a fun time at the party. Hudson found a basketball in the garage so he was happy. Ryan grilled some Purdue brats and sweet corn for dinner. We ate that along with a nice juicy watermelon. I even made homemade hot dog buns! Brooks looooves corn on the cob, he eats it really well. I've been buying all of our meat from the Purdue Butcher Block. Since Purdue is a big Ag school, they have many farms. The students learn how to butcher meat and they then sell the meat twice a week on campus. We have been really happy with the meat, it's high quality and a great price. Most of the time they only have beef and pork, but occasionally they have chicken.

Today we took the boys to Columbian Park and the Zoo. It's a small zoo, but it's free and the boys love it. The monkeys weren't out yet, but we did get to see a River Otter being fed and the boys liked the goats in the petting "farm" area. Brooks was a little afraid of the Alpaca. Hudson was meowing at the goats. We played at the playground and then took a ride around the park on the train. Brooks has been asking to ride the train so he was really happy to finally ride it!

Hudson really thought the goat should get down. We had the yard sale at the house on the right.

Brooks liked splashing in the water and going around and around the globe.

Ryan is so happy that summer is here! I think they are going to have a great time together this summer.
