And here's pictures from the Pat Benatar concert. She still sounds really good and I think she looks amazing for her age.

Here is Ryan on the swing ride at Six Flags. This is the small kid sized swing. Madison rode the big swings the other day, but I didn't bring my camera to Six Flags that day. This was taken the day we went to see Pat Benatar in concert. I let the kids ride some rides beforehand so they'd let me enjoy my concert.

Here's another concert we went to at Six Flags. K.C. & the Sunshine Band. They put on a really good concert. We really enjoyed it. Love having the season tickets and seeing all these concerts for free!

Here is Ryan riding his bike with NO training wheels. He's pretty tickled with himself that he can do this. He's even managed to teach himself to kick off on his own. We're still working on stopping with brakes. Right now, he still jumps off the bike right before it falls to the ground.

I finally got some pictures of ground hogs. They are pretty fast and don't usually let you get this close. This ground hog is at Six Flags and is surrounded by people all day long so he just kind of looks at you and as long as you don't bother him, he gets pretty close.

The highlight of the safari park is when an ostrich pecked my van. It was so cool!

At Six Flags they have a safari park where you can drive through and see the animals up close. Some of the animals can come right up to your car. The bears can't come up to the car, but they were pretty close. I call this picture, "Bear Hug".

Here's some pictures I took of our Wiggles concert at Six Flags. Every one was there, except Greg. They've got a new guy to take his place. He sounds as good as Greg. We've got Murray in red, Anthony in Blue, Jeff in blue, and the new guy in yellow. Wags the dog, Henry the octopus, and Captain Feathersword. Jeff went out into the audience and walked right in front of me!

Here's some more pictures from when we went to the Cape May Zoo. Madison and Ryan in front of the giraffe enclosure, a cute turtle family, Ryan enjoying a sucker at the playground next to the zoo, and a white peacock. Love peacocks!

Cape May Zoo is really nice and the best part is it's free! They ask for a donation when you arrive, but you can give them whatever you want. There's no set amount to give. We had a really nice time there. Here is a pretty parrot they had there.

Here's Ryan at Cape May Zoo enjoying a popsicle. It turned his mouth blue.

The kids are in the front courtyard on the slip-n-slide trying to stay cool. It's been pretty hot this summer.

Here are the kiddos chilling out on the front porch. I love my new rocking chairs!

Madison loves having Bubba and Missy to lay on her. She stayed on that chair for like 2 hours because she didn't want to disturb the animals.

At Madison's school, they celebrated the various decades and Madison's class got the 80s. So here is what she wore to school for those days. I think she looks pretty cute!

Right next to the pond is a playground so I took this pic of the kids when I managed to get them to sit still.

Here are the kids at our next door neighbor's house jumping on their trampoline.

I took the kids to Laurel Pond, a stocked pond at Ft. Dix. There's a lot of fish in there, but they're tiny. They just pick the line clean and we don't catch anything! I just wanted to show how many fish are attacking our line.

Here is something I never thought I'd see. Ryan is eating cereal with milk. I've tried for 5 years to get him to eat cereal with milk and he wouldn't do it. Of course, he's eating chocolate chip cookie cereal that turns his milk chocolate, but he's eating it!

Here's some more pictures of Ryan with my flowers.
