Summer fun

Olivia,

Well we had lots of fun during your last week before school!

We went to the Greenville Zoo. It was a super HOT day, but you would have stayed all day long if I had let you. You always beg to go there because of the petting zoo. Holding the bunnies is your favorite part!

You sat there for probably an hour and tried to hold all the different colored ones. You cried when I said it was time to go!

Here you are trying to catch some birds. haha  :)

The next day, we went to The Fire. It took you awhile to decide which project you wanted to do (you were more interested in the play area in the corner than the actual projects.. haha). But you finally decided on a butterfly and I chose a dragonfly to match! Here we are working on our pieces...

We had so much fun.. you really enjoy doing art projects with me :) We had to bring them home to grout and paint them, which you had to do all by yourself! You did such an awesome job and they turned out great! Here are the finished products...

 

We had a cookout at Grandma Kay's house with Grandma and Chris, so of course we had to go outside and play "volleyvall" as you like to call it. You're so funny, you like to make up rules as we go along and then enforce them. You're the Captain!

Then we had a movie night. You always love when we do that and you yell "GIRL'S NIGHT!!" at the top of your lungs. You had to include Daisy in on the girl's night fun with some wrestling...

Then movie time! We had such a great weekend!

Now it's the night before school, and I get teary-eyed everytime I think about it. You are so excited and couldn't fall asleep (an hour past bedtime!) so we read books and had a snack til you we're tired enough to sleep. I couldn't get in enough hugs, kisses, and I love you's. You're such an amazing little girl and I know you'll do great at school tomorrow! (And now I'm crying again!)

I love you so much!

Mom
