In addition to the 4th of July, we celebrated Grandma Kraczek's 70th birthday. Mommy made a Schwartzwalder Kuchen or Black Forest cake that Grandma had requested. It was the very first birthday cake I made for Daddy after we were married and it has become a bit of a Kraczek family favorite.
We went out for a nice dinner with just the adults, made possible because Abby agreed to watch all of the little kids. We followed the dinner by singing to Grandma and enjoying a yummy piece of cake. We love our Grandma Kraczek and hope she has a great year.
On our last day with Grandma and Grandpa Kraczek, we determined that walking around the Hogle zoo in 95 degree heat for four hours would be a good way to test their stamina. We like to use our National Zoo pass to go to The Hogle Zoo because it has different animals, as the DC zoo has more Asian animals and Hogle has more African animals. We took our cousins Sam and Kaitlyn because everything is more fun with cousins.
We were very tired when we had walked around the whole park but we had a lot of fun. Bennet got a cute new hat to keep the sun out of his eyes and Daddy got to see giraffes for the first time.
We miss our family and having cousins to play with when we have to go back home to Virginia, but, by the end, we are ready to go back to our house, even the kids.
