I hope everyone had a great July 4th weekend! Joe and I took advantage of the extra day and spent most of the weekend relaxing! We spent the day in Newport Beach to get a little taste of how Californians spend their July 4th, should have know it was on the beach! People here get pretty crazy and seem to come out of the cracks to gather together with friends. We tried to meet up with friends, but never seemed to find them in the madness. Our friend Stephanie ended up getting hit on her beach cruiser (bike) by a skateboarder and broke her elbow!! Yep, that's just the kind of day it was :) We spent the night eating at our favorite Mexican restaurant in Newport on the water with friends, which was perfect!
Joe and I FINALLY went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park! This is something I have been wanting to do for the last 2 years now! It is really cool, it is basically a more natural habitat for animals. There is tons of open land where the animals are actually able to act as if they are in the wild and live together in their herds. My favorite part was taking a large tour through the terrain to see the animals a little closer. We saw lots of newborn babies too! I highly recommend this if you come out to visit!! hint hint :)
Our Sunday Funday consisted of having a day with the doodles. We took them bright and early to Central Bark (the dog park) to let them get their energy out. Harley is so funny because he acts like he doesn't even know who we are when we are there. The second the gate opens he is gone for the next hour chasing dogs and sniffing EVERYTHING! He seems to just enjoy running aimlessly, he looks really funny! Cali on the other hand has a hard time leaving us! She would try to play, but was too freaked out by the bigger dogs. We blame this on when we took her to the dog park when she was a puppy and she got thumped by a Great Dane...never has been the same again. However, after about an hour she made friends with a few smaller dogs and seemed to have a little fun.
I am planning on coming back to Ohio to visit July 23-27th, Britt and Ryan will be home with the kiddos! I can't wait to see everyone! I think I will be staying with Matt and Britt, mom will have a houseful!

I think you should plan on going to the festival on that Saturday you are home :)
No, it's not the greatest place, but it would be fun to see you - I'm sure TONS of other people would be too!
My brother is having a birthday party for his daughter during the day. I haven't been to the festival in years, it would be nice to see you! Let me know your plans! :)
