2 things that are BIG in our household right now:

Ring around the rosie. You play once, you play a million times!

 Play-Doh. It comes out every morning right after breakfast and even sits and watches Barney with us.

The Fair

My parents were in town this weekend so we decided to take Olivia to the fair for the first time. The fair is a very interesting place but still fun to go and eat, eat  and eat some more. Olivia had a great time at the petting zoo and was able to touch all the animals she only sees in cages at the zoo. We walked through one of the barns and she had the best time mooing at all the cows. It's so much fun to watch a child as they see many things for the first time. She was so amazed by the big animals and didn't know what to think when they actually made a loud noise.

 She rode in the stroller, walked or was carried by one of us while we all ate our way through. She was a good sport especially to be there past her bed time.

Yes, she has a leash on. It's the only way to keep up with this busy body when she refuses to ride in the stroller. 

 I couldn't believe she actually touched some of the animals.

She did get to ride her first fair ride. Hays took her down a slide. She was clinging to him for dear life the entire time. I think Hays enjoyed it more than she did.

Camping-the second go around

Well, it's beautiful weather outside which calls for another camping excursion. We met our good friends, the Gurners, in Lousville, MS for a night of fun. They have a 9 month old little boy, Abe so we were anxious to see how the kids would do while camping. Hays and Chris have been back country camping in Alaska as well as many other places so this is an old hat for them. Although it might be a tad different with 2 kids in tow.

We cooked hot dogs, roasted marshmallows and chatted around the fire. All in all it was a great time and both Olivia and Abe were good little campers.

Hays and his mini me.

LOVE my baby girl!

Dorito, anyone??

They are such good little campers. Although Olivia would not go to bed at her bedtime around 10:00 she was knocked out and slept between me and Hays all night without a peep.

Can we say someone must have slept like a log?? Look at that hair.

It was a great second trip for camping. We definitely have a little camper on our hands. She was so excited the whole time. This makes her daddy (and mommy) smile from ear to ear. Maybe I can talk Hays into a pop up camper now?! Many more trips to come in our future (after baby #2 gets here).
