Labor Day Weekend

This weekend got off to a slow start and went out with a BANG!  What a great weekend!!!  But first I want to share a few potty practicing pictures.

And then you go like this...

Reading makes it go faster 

I Did It!!!

That was earlier in the week.  Mom and Dad got in late on Friday night.  Madison had already gone to bed.  She hadn't felt so great that evening and we were just hoping for her to get through the evening and she did really well.  The next morning she was VERY surprised to see Grandma and Grandpa when she got up.

That morning we had planned on heading to the Life and Science Museum for Madison to check out the Dinosaur Trail.  Little did we know she was starting not too feel so good again.  She was VERY excited in the morning and was go, go, go....then kinda hit a small wall.  There was a little smile here and there but her overall feeling was not so good.

We started in the farmyard.  There were sheep, donkeys, pigs...she wasn't ALL that interested...

See the sheep

We walked the dinosaur trail and checked out the ancient wildlife...

Digging for fossils

Touching the baby dinosaur

She became a bit interested at looking at the dinosaurs but the crash was about to take place and we weren't completely aware of it.

The start of the crash...

She was such a trooper! We continued to through the butterfly house and then started the local wildlife trail.  It wasn't long before she called it quits.  While sitting in the shade and watching the black bears, she called it quits for a few minutes.  A recharge was needed....

And done!!!

She continued her afternoon in the stroller and then it was off to home.  Our poor little girl slept ALL DAY LONG and didn't want to be disturbed...as you can see :-)

Sunday started slow and I was so afraid she wasn't going to make it.  But after a few grits, a little juice and persuasion she was ready to go!!!  We took it easy around the house, playing on the swing and reading books.  She had such a great time with Chloe, Grandma and Grandpa!!

Monday came quickly and she wasn't too anxious to see everyone leave.  She took a few more minutes to spend time with her Grandpa and to play with Chloe.  And then there is always PIZZA!  Nothing tops a great visit like cheese and pepperoni!
