This memorial weekend we stayed close to home. On saturday we went to a local festival that had a petting zoo. Olivia liked feeding the goats best of all. She kept pulling up handfuls of grass to feed them and the goats liked it. She also got her face painted and a temporary tattoo on her arm.
On Sunday we went to Poplar Forest, Thomas Jefferson's retreat home. A few weeks ago we visited his main home, Monticello. This one is closer to our house so it was an easy one hour drive with the kiddos and they both did good.

Olivia is now a good picture taker so Brian and I can get pictures together again!

Then yesterday we went to the local pool and both girls got in. I didn't get any pictures, but they really enjoyed the water. Alaina makes a funny laughing sound and yells when she is put in the cold water. It is too cute!
There is a pool down the street from our house and we've been spending a lot of time there this summer. Olivia would stay all day every day if she could. Notice her new swim attire of a vest and water wings. She was insisting on using a round tube she has had forever, but it got a hole last week and so she was forced to move on. Now she can swim all over the pool with her new gear. Alaina likes her floaty too. When the water was really cold she would holler and try to jump out of her floaty. Now she is pretty content to cruise the pool with one of us. It is going to be a great summer!
