Summer in Review - June 2011

June was a busy month!  This is a long post, so hang in there...

We went to go see the Memphis Redbirds play downtown. (Mamie was at church camp.)

We went to the zoo to see our favorite animals.

We went to the new playground at Shelby Farms and had a picnic on the hottest day of the summer...(Margaret had poison ivy on her face as you can see in this picture).

Richie had his General Assembly meeting for our denomination in Virginia Beach, VA in June.  We decided to take Mamie along, so that we could have some quality time with her.  It was such a special time, and we made some great memories.  The first day that we were there we went to Williamsburg.  We spent some time at the Jamestowne Settlement, and then we went to Colonial Williamsburg.

Mamie and I spent a lot of time at the beach.

We also went hiking.

We loved the Virginia Beach Aquarium.

Mamie got to touch horseshoe crabs and sting rays.

We spent a weekend in Little Rock and hung out with grandparents and our aunt, uncle and cousin.

Griffin learned how to play golf.


We celebrated my birthday and Richie's birthday.


We had a special family dinner for Mamie.  Her favorite meal selection was make-your-own pizza, pickles, chips and brownies.


We went to see the Beauty and the Beast broadway show at the Orpheum downtown.


We celebrated Richie's birthday again!


We did some exploring at the Lichterman Nature Center in Memphis.
