Labor Day Weekend


Wow-- isn't it amazing what an extra day on the weekend can do for your spirits?!? We had such a great weekend just spending time together. Jon has been traveling quite a bit for work lately, which is rare for him, so it was nice to not have plans and just relax.

I was finally able to capture a little bit of Olivia's mean face. She does it much better than this, but you get the idea:

We started the weekend with a little pool party on Friday. I didn't take my camera, but Olivia had so much fun playing in the sprinkler and running around the yard. It was so hot, though, so we didn't stay long. This is how she looked when we got home:

Saturday meant opening weekend for college football! I have to say, Olivia makes a pretty cute cheerleader:


On Sunday, we went to the Brookfield Zoo. It was a perfect day! We couldn't have asked for better weather and Olivia really got into it this time.

First Carousel Ride:

Watching the sea lions with daddy:

Watching the dolphins:

Her favorite part of the day was seeing the goats in the petting zoo. We put her down in the goat pen with about 20 goats. She had SO much fun!! She was running around saying, "Goat, goat!", laughing and squealing! Jon and I laughed about it all day! Ha!



She also really likes birds. When you ask her what a parrot says, she says "cracker". Here she is with daddy and the parrots:

Watching the birds fly:

Finishing up a fun day at the zoo:

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend as much as we did!
