Summer continues to march on with its ridiculous hot temperatures and we've been doing our best to entertain ourselves without completely melting.
Mark and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on the 9th with a dste-night to a yummy restaurant in Chapel Hill. It was so nice to enjoy a leisurely meal with each other for the first time probably since Mark's birthday back in March. Sadly, I totally forgot to take a picture of the two of us. I'll work on that next year! Just so thankful for the 7 wonderful years of marriage we've been blessed to share thus far!
Mark was off Monday, so we decided to take a last-minute trip out to the Natural Science Center of Greensboro. A couple months ago we became members of the NC Aquarium to get free admission to the NC Zoo (long story but Mark got us a sweet deal) and this museum happened to be in the network of museums that the membership would get us into for free as well. It was definitely a mix of older exhibits and newer stuff but Eli loved it and that was all that mattered. They had a lot of animals in the outdoor section of the museum, complete with a few exhibits where you could pet the animals too.
We found some cool dino-bones
Eli made some new sheep and goat friends
We also saw two really hot tigers. All of the animals kind of looked like this!
Jumped off a beetle with Daddy
There was a little snake petting too...not by mommy!
After all of our museum exploration, Mark and I decided to make a quick pit-stop at the local Krispy Kreme for a quick snack. This was Eli's first Krispy Kreme experience. He is totally his mother's child. When asked to choose one donut from the glass case, he chose the frosted with sprinkles and enjoyed every bite as you can see in the picture below. I think we have a new Krispy Kreme fan!
Sugary Donut + busy day in the heat + No Nap = one quiet ride back home!
