August 3rd-6th

We began August still feeling sick but with Taylor trying to prove to his mom he knew how to play "Cups"

I have video proof for our children that Grandma Drake beat Daddy by a landslide....sorry Taylor

And I'll add this one because I think Taylor realizes at the end of this video he is beat....

We had fun making a new recipe ratatouille 


And we spent a night in relaxing and giving each other a massage while wearing mud masks

The next day we went to Tracy Aviary
Taylor and the peacock.  It was like our high school band trip to the CA zoo all over again with the peacock roaming right next to us

Scary-looking vulture who apparently has a nice personality

And of course....flamingos

The next day for work, Taylor drew one of the owls we saw on my sandwich

Aw! That's a cute sandwich he made for you! Great pics of the zoo! You guys have been enjoying time off of school doing fun things! Maybe Taylor should use his time off to sharpen his cup skills and do a rematch! ha ha Love you guys! Mom

I meant to say that I love all the birds you saw at the aviary, not the zoo! ha ha "Aviary" is my nemesis. I don't know if you remember, but I was in the Alabama State Spelling Bee. The word I missed was aviary. I had never heard of the word before and thought it was a word related to aerospace. Thus, I spelled it with a silent e. Bummer! I will never forget how to spell aviary again! ha ha Love you!
