*** yikes where did all the time go?!!! **

ok

so i have been MIA
sooo
BUSY
fun stuff primarily
so i'm so NOT complaining
here is a quick catch-up :)
i went on our annual family event
the minnetonka festival
always an awesome day
tons of yummy food
music
blow up jumpie dealies for the kids
& our favorite
the petting zoo!!
now in phoenix i went to several petting zoos
& they were full of
super pushy extremely overweight goats
it made me so sad
but this zoo
LOVE
waltons hollow
bunnies
llamas donkey goats
* but normal size not pushy ones *
and my favorite this dog
i love him ...i think hes a great pyrenees
always has me and everyone else smiling
he reminds me of one of my favorite friends
that i haven't spoken to in a while
& it i think is her birthday month..
thinking of you nancy!!
she has had several beautiful samoyed
i have never met a samoyed
so i pretend this pup is one
:)
we usually end the night
with amazing fireworks
but
not this year...
bad rain storm rolled in
so yep

;(
but we get to look forward to them in October
at the end of another festival
so all is good!!
