Last Friday (August 26) we kicked off the weekend going to the William Byrd HS Football game to watch Allison cheer and Dalton (her boyfriend) play football!  I can honestly tell you it’s been MANY years since I’ve gone to a High School football game and NOTHING has changed about them.  Christina and Dock met up with us there while Randy, Lindsay and Aubrey went with us and the guys had a great time watching the game while Christina, Lindsay, Aubrey and I watched the cheerleaders.  Even Aubrey did a little cheering that night….I think her favorite was the Terrier Rumble…haha! 

playing with Dock (aka Chicken) and Christina 

chicken and chicken..haha!

The next day James, Randy, Lindsay and I took the girls up to the Safari Park in Natural Bridge.  We couldn’t have picked a better day to go because Irene was lingering around (without the rain) so it cooled every time off and kept it pretty windy.  Addy of course feel asleep as soon as we got there but thankfully only slept through half of the park and Aubrey wasn’t too sure about the animals coming to the car to eat but all 4 adults had a great time!!  After we drove through the park we took the girls over to the “Safari Animal” part where they had monkeys, Tigers, Giraffe’s and a few only strange animals.  They also had a petting park that had Goats, Chickens and Pigs which the kids liked.  The pigs were probably the funniest because every time a huge gust a wind would come through they would start squealing really like!  As we were walking about we all got amused by the chicken we saw sitting on top of a goat…hmmm! 

checking out the Giraffe's 

The tinest bird I've ever seen!! 

baby Zebra on the right!!!!  It was SOOO cute!

James the Llama... 

checking out the goats... 

If you look closely this picture makes no sense but we thought it was pretty funny!!  We tried to get Aubrey to get in the picture with Lindsay but it wasn't happening so I put Addy up there to see if Aubrey might do it after "Addy did it"...haha!! 

HUGE Tortoise 

Lindsay had a slight obsession with the picture opts... 

We had a great day at the Safari Park!!!

Saturday evening we went to dinner with Christina, Dock, Allison, her boyfriend Dalton, Randy and Lindsay to Icheban!  This was Addy’s first experience with Icheban and she had her eyes glued to the chef the entire time!  We did that taking her back might not be the best idea or to at least have her BiPap on because the smoke gave her a little trouble.  We had a great time at dinner and hope to do it again soon!!

A few random pictures from 2 weeks ago...

Finally wearing her AFO's after not being able to for months!!  We had them modified to go on her feet that's why they have so many "extra" straps down the side.  They are there to help bring her foot back up to neutal.  Please pray that these help!! 

She made a Kitty Duke Cheerleading/Ballernia build a bear...that's my girl!  haha!!

She picked out the cat (which if you know James and I we are dog lovers not Cat lovers...both extremely allergic), a cheerleading outfit (Duke colors) and pink pointe shoes...what an outfit! 

We have had a few cool nights lately so we jump on the opportunity to take Addy for a walk which she LOVES!!  We have been taking her to a trail in Salem that is along the Roanoke River that has Ducks and Addy loves to look at the Ducks...especially when Mommy and Daddy quack like a Duck :)
