August has been a very busy month. We've gone to the beach, the Wild Animal Park, Balboa and Felicita Park a couple of times. The Cockrell cousins only live about 15 minutes away so we've seen them a few times as well. Some visitors came down as well. Grandma West and Ernie came for a couple days as well as Aunt Paula for a couple different days. If there was any down time then Colin was quick to request a book to be read.
"Donnie" the doggie has had a good run of GaMommy's house and "Joycer" has appeared this month as well who is Colin's cat ego. There has also been talk of "Frosting" the birdie but he doesn't show up all that often. We're going to have a whole zoo soon.
