The Fourth

Yep, the Fourth of July has come and gone and I forgot to post about it. It was fairly an uneventful weekend. No fireworks were seen by my families eyes, no grilling out and no spending it with family. Just a quiet weekend at home. We missed going to Gilmer with the rest of the Bishop family. Also missed going to FW with my family. It would of been nice to visit my dad down South if we had the time, but we didn't. Instead we spent the time with each other and it was nice and peaceful.
We did make plans to go to Lone Star park on Saturday the 3rd with our friends the Brown's. It was cool and cloudy with a 60% chance to rain and oh did it rain. It poured about 20 minutes after we got there. It was coming down for a good hour. After seeing the horses in their stables inside we went where we spent the hour hanging out and perusing the gift shop where no gifts were purchased but played with. Once the rain stopped we walked to where the family area was and saw it had all closed down because of the rain but would open within the hour.
Ava got to play some carnival games and won some prizes. Then she rode her first pony. She loved it and was a little bit scared. After the pony ride we went to the petting zoo where she got to pet and feed some farm animals. We spent a lot of time in there and the kids loved it.
It was the perfect day even with the rain it was nice and cool and made it nice to be outside.

When Lola woke up from her nap she was wearing this tutu under her dress. She was so cute we left it on her.

This sweet goat took to nibbling on Lola's skirt.
