Courtney brought the girls to our house on Friday to spend three nights with us.
Paul is in Norway on business and Courtney was going to Chicago to visit a college friend.
We were more than happy to take the girls.
We started our Friday night with Schuett's followed by a walk to the park where the girls put on a performance and played on the playground.
We came home, had a campfire.
The girls made a fairy garden in one of my flower beds.
We watched TV and turned in early to get ready for our zoo day on Saturday.
On Saturday we left nice and early for the zoo, but best laid plans, we had gotten almost to Oconomowoc when we realized we had forgotten the zoo passes.
We waited for Courtney to bring them to us on her way to Chicago.
At least we were able to wait at the beach in Oconomowoc.
The girls did enjoy that.
Courtney arrived with our passes and we were on our way, yet again.
We decided to park in the zoo parking lot which was a good decision to save some of the time we had lost, it was well worth the parking fee to be so close to the entrance.
We had a great time at the zoo as usual.
We rode the train, the merry go round and the zoo mobile. We actually were able ride the zoo mobile for free because we are US cellular customers, who knew?
We all enjoyed the zoo mobile very much and we learned a lot about the animals.
We had our picnic lunch and then took off to see the animals up close and personal.
.There was a special exhibit of movable, lifelike dinosaurs there, too, they were awesome.
Other than this brain freeze, we had another memorable zoo day.
We had pizza at Marty's on the way home.
On Sunday, after church, the girls wanted to go to the pool so badly.
It was cloudy and rather chilly but we finally decided to go and what fun we had.
The girls spent two hours in the water.
Tiz loved the diving board and the big slide.
Soli found a friend from Preschool who just happened to be wearing the same suit as her.
They had so much fun together.
After swimming, the girls had fun in our swing.
Tiz did her hair all by herself after her shower.
On Monday, Courtney came to get the girls but not before we had some fun with the slip and slide.
It was a great weekend.
Next time we see the girls will be in North Carolina on our vacation.
John started his new job.
It is going.
I am back to tutoring today, tomorrow, and Thursday.
It is going.
Until next time...
