Saturday at the Zoo!

Saturday morning we were out and about and Ava had the idea to go to the Zoo! So since we have a year membership to the zoo we decided we might as well! It was a fun day! When we go to the zoo we usually go with friends during the day while Chris is at work, so it was nice to have him along for the fun for once! We rode the train around and went to the petting zoo, played at the park, and Ava got soaked playing at the splash pad! I can't wait til they open the new water park area with a new water slide this coming weekend! Sounds like we will have to go to the zoo more often! Great idea Ava!

Riding the Train!! It was pretty hot, so instead of walking all around the zoo we decided to take the train around so see all the animals! SO worth it!! haha

Petting the goats! As soon as we walked into the petting zoo, a huge goat walked up to me and I said "Wo! Hey there big guy!" So after that every goat that Ava walked up to to pet with the little brush she said "hey there big guy!" It was pretty funny... I dunno... guess you had to be there... haha!

Ava and Daddy playing on the Tractor!

This cute little prairie dog was Ava's little friend. As soon as we walked up, it ran up to Ava and started playing around. Ava loved it! Ava tried reaching in a couple times to pick it up... it was funny!

This is our sassy little princess throwing a fit because she couldn't ride the merry-go-round...

Labor Day @ the Cabin!

For the holiday weekend we took a bunch of Chris' family and some friends up to our cabin! It was a blast! The weather was just heavenly! It rained everyday and it was nice and cool! I even put on a sweater! Can you believe it!? It was great! We all had a good time! Thanks to the Rice's and family and Fringer's for going up with us! We had a great time!
We have to get up there as much as possible from now on because they have put the cabin up for sale... Which makes me very sad! My grandparents built the cabin when my mom was in high school and it really stinks that they have to sell it now... It is my favorite place in the entire world! I love it up there and I am going to miss it when it is sold... :( But it has been a place full of great memories both as a kid and now as I've gotten older! We have been so lucky to have such an awesome place to go up and spend time away from the real world every once in a while!

I didn't take very many pics over the weekend, I was havin' such a good time I forgot to get my camera out! But here are some family pics we took on Sunday!

We took a lot more good family pics with the Rice's, but I think Jolin is going to use them for Christmas cards... so I won't spoil them!
