Fostering Animals.

 

 

 

 

So I recenltly found a way to help out homeless dogs and cats without having to own a million animals. Our local animal shelter has a foster program which allows people to take animals into thier home until they can become adopted. Monday I went to get our dog her shots and discovered that they had a dozen mother cats with new kittens and more coming in every day. So we brought home a mother cat and her three kittens to care for until they are old enough to get adopted. It is also hopefully helping the cat and kittens be more friendly by being a part of our family instead of in a tiny kennell all day. We are having so much fun. The kids are learning the importance of taking care of animals and the best part is we get to try to find them a home with someone else! So far so fun!

And The Race Is On...

 

 

This year our Fourth of July was a little less traditional. It was just the four of us and unfortunately all fireworks were banned in our county because of the severe drought we were in. So we decided to go spend the day in the water watching 8000 ducks race down a water slide and into a lazy river. The kids had so much fun playing in the water park. After we had exhausted all energy from swimming we went to America's best place to eat, Freebirds. After a 20 minute nap in the car on the way home the kids were ready for some more fun so we did what anyone else would do on the Fourth, watched fireworks. Only this time we watched them on our television streamed in from Orlando, Florida, Sydney, Australia, and Washington D.C. All in all it was a pretty good Fourth of July.
