I can’t believe it is already Friday! What a fast week!
We have a few more days on our Staycation, but I thought I would pop in to share five of my favorite pictures from the week 🙂
If you’d like to follow on instagram, I’ll be posting the rest of our adventures this weekend!
1. We’ve been walking over to the park in the mornings right after the sun comes up, it is so pretty and peaceful that time of day! We are kids at heart, and one of my favorite things to do since I was little is swing! My hubby took this of me as I was about to take off…hence the open mouth lol 🙂
2. We went to the Fort Worth Zoo one day, and it was so much fun! My favorite zoo animal (and one of my favorites in general) is the sweet baby elephants! They were so precious.
3. We’ve spent some time by the pool reading and swimming. Perfect way to spend a hot Texas day!
4. Ruger has been loving this staycation just as much as us! He really takes the whole “being lazy” part of this vacation to the extremes 🙂
5. We’ve been doing some fun stuff in the kitchen this week too. This drink I am sharing on Monday, it is the perfect summer old-fashioned drink! Plus, you know I am all about making this better for you, so this will be too 🙂 I can’t wait to share it with you!

I am so glad you’ve had a great week! Yay for a staycation.
Elephants are my favorite animal, too! And the Fort Worth Zoo is THE best.
Alexis says
Fort Worth zoo is definitely the best! This is the first time I’ve been in years, and loved it just as much as I did when I was little!

I would be taking the clutch everywhere…LOVE the color!

Happy weekend Alexis! Great pics today. You look so young and carefree on the swing. I haven’t been on a swing in a long time – I might need to do that this weekend. Hmmm, there is one by my workout community center. Mr. Ruger in that relaxed frog position – cute. How do they do that to their bodies?! And your zoo trip looked fun. Have a great weekend!
Alexis says
I love swinging, it is so fun to just let go and be a kid again 🙂 I don’t know how Ruger gets in that position…but it is his favorite!! I wish I was that flexible! Have a great weekend Laurie!
Sheryl says
I LOVE to swing and don’t think one is ever too old to do it. So glad it’s been a relaxing vacation! Happy Weekend!! (and I really could use the clutch).
Alexis says
Swinging is so much fun! I am so glad we have swings at the park in our neighborhood!

Ruger has the staycation down PAT:) It looks like you’ve had a wonderful one. We’re wanting to take Kane to the zoo later this summer. I know I’ll love it, and I think he will too.
And I’d take that clutch EVERYWHERE:)

I can see that you guys had a GREAT staycation! I love the picture of Ruger…he is too cute and I can’t wait to see what that drink is. Looks like something I’ll be adding to my Pinterest board to try. I’ll be checking in on Monday to learn more. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend! http://sunshineandelephants.blogspot.com/

Thank you, it has really been a great staycation! I can’t wait to share this fun summer drink tomorrow, it is SO easy to make, but really delicious 🙂 Have a great Sunday!

I’d take the clutch to my brothers wedding this fall! It’s a beach wedding so it would be perfect!
