Fun at the park

Olivia and I went to the park tonight because it was actually nice out again! We had the whole park to ourselves and she had so much fun swinging, sliding, and climbing over the bridge and through the tunnels! This is one of our favorite places to walk to at night!
Swinging cutie!
Just relaxing in her swing
Climbing through the tunnel
Coming down the slide
She loves to crawl over the bridge and then gets a little hesitant coming down the other side!
Look at that hair blowing in the breeze. What a super model!

Bubbles with Auntie Vickie

Auntie Vickie brought over a cool bubble blower the other day for miss Olivia. It is a bug and the wings flap when you blow the bubbles. Olivia had a blast and now we blow bubbles all the time. Thanks Auntie Vickie!

My new pool

Olivia's hawaiian pool had a little hole so we had to get a new one......we decided to try the fish one this time because the top can be on or off. Here she is testing it out....so far no hole. We can't wait for our cousins Kade and Noelle to come on the fourth of july and swim with us!

Father's Day

On Father's day we went over to my Aunts house. There was good food, lots of fun, and a family kickball game.....which our team won by the way :) Here are a few pictures from the day....

Thursdays on First with Addison

A couple of weeks ago we went down to Thursdays on First with Amanda and Addison. After looking at all of the vendors we took the girls down to play in the Mayo fountain. They had so much fun splashing in the water. Check out Addisons pretty hair that she got done down at Thursdays...it is pink and purple with a pretty bow that she picked out....along with her princess crown that she never leaves home without! So cute!
BFF's :) Addison looks a little concerned that Olivia is going to jump in!.....which she tried!

The face of mischief!

My new swimming pool!

Olivia got a new swimming pool and it fits perfectly on our deck. It was so nice out today that we got it out and she had a blast! If anyone's up for a swim...come on over!

Taking a break from her swimming to sun bathe on our new lounge chairs!
Her pool came with butterfly floats! She loved to eat them of course :)
The butterflies stick to the palm trees
Splashing around and having so much fun!

MN Zoo!

On Saturday we took a trip to the MN Zoo. We had a lot of fun and Olivia loved looking at all of the animals. We will have to go again soon!
This kitty is way bigger than Lucy!
Olivia and Dad looking at the otters. I think these were her favorite animals because they ran around so fast playing with each other and splashing in the water. They were crazy....just like her!
Olivia loves fish tanks so she was so excited to look in the BIG fish tank at the zoo with all of the sharks and tropical fish.......
Olivia got to pet and feed the goats on the family farm. She loved them! Here are some pictures of her and the goats......
Riding the big tractor by the farm animals
The zoo now has Africa animals. Here are the giraffes.

We had a fun day but it was time to go home!
