A Very Fun Fourth

The Dalton family had a WONDERFUL Fourth of July, traveling back to Kansas City for our celebration this year.  We had too much fun visiting friends and seeing the zoo and the DeAnna Rose Farmstead.
We showed up on Thursday and met John and the kiddos at the Farmstead.  Will and Ava were SO excited to see each other!

Posing in the tee-pee.

Feeding the goats their bottles.

Impromptu dance party.

And a special treat....riding the ponies. 

Cowboy Will and Cowgirl Ava.

And fun at the playground.  They had a great time at the "diggers", and swinging of course.

Cooling off in the sprinklers...

Feeding the ducks, an Ava favorite.

Practicing milking a cow.

We spent the 4th wtih our friends the Steffens.  Ava and Amelia had so much fun together.  It was just a great night with good company.  We spent the evening on their deck on the golf course, and watched the fireworks from the green.

Amelia saw some fireworks.  Ava clearly wasn't impressed.

Their own "popper" fireworks.

Look at these sweet girls!

Swinging fun.  Ava loved that they could go so high!

Rolling down the green.

Ready for some fireworks!

The next day we headed to the zoo with the Liz, Will, and baby Megan.  Our favorite place indeed!!

They are excited and ready to go!

Will, trying to hug Ava.  These two.  Seriously too cute.

 Waiting for the train, always a favorite.

 Waving "bye" from the train.

Snack break for everyone, with a perfect view of the elephants.

Checking out the leopard.

We even sat through a keeper chat about the lions.  Did you know that all the lions there are male?! Fascinating stuff!

Until next time Kansas City....miss you already!
