0 for 2 for the Zoo

Justin got off early today, it wasn't raining, it wasn't hot, Morganne got an early nap, so we headed for the zoo, in hopes that we would be there longer than 45 minutes and everyone would stay happy. The drive down was great, the weather was perfect, but DARNED IF THE ZOO WASN"T CLOSED TODAY!!!! In prep for Zoobilation they were closed all day. So, once again we turned around and came back home! This is getting frustrating. Third times a charm?!?!?

So, once home Daddy decided to take a nap and Morganne and I decided to entertain ourselves and broke out the finger paints. Here is a little video from our creative time. She loved it, I just wish her attention span were longer. It only lasted about 15 minutes total before she was ready to move on to the next thing. She then got a second bath of the day. (I realize it looks like she is in her birthday suit in this picture, rest assured, she is at least wearing a diaper!)

Agility weekend

Though it was hot, humid, and with very difficult courses, we had a very fun time at the HKC agility trial last weekend. Becky came in town and spent the three days with us and friends while showing in the trial. We were blessed with no rain, but definitely got the sunburns and tans started for the year. We only had one frustrating moment, when a wind gust picked up all three of our tents and sent them crashing end over end, and over cars through the grass. Becky's broke a leg, so we shot it and threw it away, Deb's was broken but still usable, and mine snapped two rods, but luckily we think they can be replaced. So, Friday night we went out and bought a new tent! Other than that, it was an enjoyable weekend. Morganne spent the day with us Friday and Saturday and was absolutely perfect. She even took an hour nap in her pack-n-play on Friday at the trial. What a trooper. I can't wait until she is showing her own dog someday.... Anyhow, here are a few pictures from the weekend. I will try to insert some video of Ripken's runs too, thanks to Deb.
