My ACE Personal Training materials arrived yesterday!!!! I am so excited to get going on this new adventure. I hope to take the test for certification in the fall. I need to get crackin' as I start graduate school in the fall also....need to have one done before I start the other :-)
We spent the 4th of July between the golf course and my dad's. The day ended with fireworks that woke up my dad's rather quiet neighborhood. It seemed like they needed some excitement (we did notice that once we started some of the other neighbors got the guts to let some off too). It was fun. However, I kept thinking my mom should have been there. It has been a little over 6 months since she has been gone....doesn't seem possible. The kids and I took a flag to the cemetery. Zoe said the Pledge of Allegiance and we prayed. It is all so surreal visiting the cemetery. I sure wish I didn't have to do it. Doug stopped on his way up to dad's also. We've had a rough 6 months loosing my mom, aunt and Doug's mom. I think there is a reason....just not sure what it is yet. Anyway, every holiday is like a first for us again....making new traditions and memories. Just what my mom would want.
Yesterday, we ventured to John Ball Park Zoo. The kids had a blast! Of course I forgot my camera and didn't get to capture the excitement on film but it is etched in my memory. Mason is still a little scared of the stingrays and sharks but loved the bears and tigers. They both got their faces painted (which was free and by far the most exciting part of the day).
Tomorrow Zoe and I are going to Muskegon for the Drake Bell concert at the summer celebration. Just a day of girl bonding and loud music! Zoe is soooo excited to see her "dream boat"! We are taking our camera to that!!!!
