Long Weekend Recap

We had such a busy and fun weekend that we're all totally pooped from it today!

It started on Friday with a trip to Cecil County to visit the Plumpton Park Zoo. We met up with my mom, Lily, Anna, Phil, and Collin! All of the cousins were accounted for which is a rarity for our family.

Here are Lily and Anna enjoying a ride in the stroller to see the animals.

Zachary checking out the miniature pony.

This was a bull-type creature. Only a Cecil County zoo would have such a beast.

Collin fed the donkey's while Z watched.

Somehow I missed getting a picture of Olivia but she really enjoyed the zoo, too.

On Saturday we went to Boordy Vineyards with Chris and Cristin. I think this was our 4 year going to this event with them and as always we had a GREAT time.

Sunday we went BACK to Cecil County (lots of driving this weekend) to pick-up Zachary. He stayed with Sarah, Phil and Collin all weekend. We had a little cook-out with them and celebrated Memorial Day a bit early.

Olivia beat the heat with Pop & Nana.

Hanging with Aunt Sarah.

Taking a little nap in her tent. How big does she look here? She's getting so long!

Zachary spent some time by the pool. He wasn't too interested in getting in it though.

Monday we lounged at home which was much needed after all of that running around!

Where Kids Can Be A Kid

With all of the rain we've been having today we started going a bit stir crazy being stuck indoors. We decided to head up to York to Chuck E. Cheese for some good old fashioned fun! Surprisingly the place was pretty empty and the kids who were there were well behaved (minus the little girl who smacked Olivia across the head while I was bent down - seriously).

Zachary had an absolute blast playing all of the games and running around. It was so nice to get out of the house for awhile!

He beat Daddy at the water shooting game every time.

Learning how to play skee ball.

Doing is wrong - haha!

He could have played on the racing games the entire day if we let him. Rich had to hold down the gas pedal for him though.

The Weather is Here

This nice weather has been keeping us pretty busy but I've tried to stay on top of taking pictures of the kids!

Over the weekend we got out Zachary's new pool (thanks aunt sarah) and he had an absolute blast playing in it.

Olivia came out for a bit and hid under her hat.

Then she took a nap. The heat is tiring!

Yesterday we went to ZooAmerica at Hershey Park. I'm not sure why I even bother taking my camera with me when we visit zoos. All I end up getting is the back of heads!

Mr. Cool Guy wore his hat the entire day.

See what I mean? Z and Madelyn were checking out a black bear while he was sleeping.

He turned around to make sure I saw the bear.

This morning I bribed Z with a lollipop to get a picture with his sister. It was 9am and I'm not ashamed of it at all. This was the best face he could manage for me. I shouldn't have let him cash in on that lollipop!

Finally, I got Olivia REALLY smiling on camera. She is getting so big and just melts my heart with these faces!
