Neighbors

I love our neighborhood and our neighbors.  One thing I was worried about when we moved was that there wouldn't be any young families. Luckily, I was wrong.  I can think of at least five other woman who have just one kid about the same age as Izzy. It is so fun to hang out with them and let our kids play.  On Saturday we had a BBQ with 4 other families who have young kids.  It was fun to get to know some of our neighbors better.

The kids jumping on the trampoline. 


 More jumping.
 And more jumping.  They would have stayed all night if we let them.
Today we went to the animal farm.  It seems we go there a lot.  However, I learned something today, do NOT go on Tuesdays because they have $2 Tuesdays and it is a zoo.  I went with two other ladies from our ward and their kids, afterwards we went to lunch at Chick-fil-a.  We had a great time, even though lots of the time was spent chasing kids.  I love all the activities and fun stuff there is to do during the summer. 

Izzy counting to 10. 

I am so happy with our move, the people we have met, and that I can stay home with Izzy and enjoy all the fun activities.  Even though some days it's a little crazy, it's good overall.

That is awesome. Neighbors make all the difference. So happy you are getting settled in and getting to know people. I remember $2 Tuesdays - they were CRAZY! We did the dinosaur museum one day and were amazed at how many people (and strollers) there were.

Looks so fun! We definitely need to find a gold mine for young families like that. Our last ward was awesome but 3/4 of the ward was over 50 :) Glad your having fun staying home!

Cute pics of them on the tramp! It was so fun to have a BBQ at your house! I am really glad that you guys moved in and have a little girl so close in age to mine. Its fun to do stuff with other families in similar stages of life.
