Well we had one last hurrah before Sierra jets off to school. We went to the zoo in the morning and rode the train and carousel. We ate lunch there and bought 2 animals that are made by a machine that heats up plastic into animal shapes - lion & giraffe. We came home for an hour to relax and then went down to Lake Michigan for some swimming. There was hardly anyone there, the water was pretty clear and warmer than normal - perfect conditions for swimming! To top it all off a Channel 4 helicopter flew overhead and took video. I think we were on the 10 o'clock news at night - too funny! Now we're celebrities - ok not really - but an awesome day. We topped it off by going to Red Lobster with Daddy for dinner - Sierra loves looking at the lobsters :)

Wow, I'm jealous! Wish I could be Sierra and have that fun day with my mommy. :) Awesome that the lake cooperated with you for a fun swim. It seems to have such a slim window for nice weather. :)

Oh my word, I know EXACTLY what plastic animals you mean. I had one from the zoo when I was a little girl. Mine was a gorilla. :)

Was it Samson??? I had a Samson? I think that was his name....you know the mean one that would break the glass :P

Yeah that was his name. It's funny you should bring him up b/c they had a special exhibit at the museum all on him.
