More Summer

Ben: I want jelly fish for snack.
Amber: We don't eat jelly fish.
Ben: Sea animals do.
Amber: You aren't a sea animal.
Ben: I'm a land animal?

Ben and Nate were using balloons to knock over their blocks. Ben proudly announced, "We have knockers!"

Ryan and I celebrated our birthdays on July 4th. He turned 31 and this was my big 30!

When my mom was in town we got away to Kansas City for an overnight trip without the boys. This picture is not very flattering but it chronicles the night that we went to dinner AND a movie and didn't get back to the hotel until after dark!
In true Carter fashion, we had a very low key celebration for our birthdays with a bring-your-own-everything to the patio and grilled and hung out with friends. It was perfect.

Friends
I told Ryan that I finally am my age. We have always acted like we are older than our 20s and now my age matches my mindset. Bring on the 30s.
Sparklers were not a big hit!
Snakes were!
Delicious, local corn on the cob!
Ben was giving Nate a goodnight love. Nate wasn't feeling it. 
 Zoo! Don't worry - the elephants were only inside while they cleaned their area.
 Gorilla foot!
 Twinkies. Thanks for the Cabela's shirts Mama-D!
 
Who doesn't love chocolate?!
 He looks so grown up! And balloons can entertain my boys for days.
