No rain, nor sleet, nor snow or heat, shall keep the Grant's from the Zoo- but maybe it should have....

Today Justin had the day off and we'd been planning on using our new membership and visiting the zoo for about a week now. We woke up to steady hard rain, all morning. But alas, we decided that there was enough "indoor" activities that we would try it. So we ventured out. Due to construction it took us a hour to get there, then once there Morganne began to not feel well and we couldn't get her to stop crying to even really look at the animals. We think she has a sinus infection with a headache this morning. She was not impressed. So after about 45 minutes, we decided to pack up and leave. Once home, fed, and a two hour nap, she was in a much better mood. Oh well, we will try again some other day. That's the nice thing about memberships, I don't feel like we wasted much since it didn't cost us anything today. We still were together, and though frustrating, we tried. I think she will like it better next time!

McCormack dinner

Kids, kids, and more kids.... In celebration of recent graduations and Papo and Phyllis' return from Florida for the summer the McCormack clan got together for an afternoon party a few weeks ago. Papo got to see his most of his numerous Great-grandchildren, grandchildren, and children. Morganne and second cousin Jocilyn, 8 months old, (I hope I spelled her name right!) played together and crawled all over the place. Papo is always smiling when it comes to his kids! Phyllis, unfortunately couldn't be there for the party, but thankfully she is now recovering at home after major abdominal surgery last week. We've missed seeing her around and hopefully she is finally on the mends.

Here is Papo holding his newest Great grand-girls. :c)


Pretty Jocilyn Claire. Such a laid back little girl. We can appreciate the type....
