A Great Weekend

We had such a fun weekend! The weather was actually fairly nice, so we got to be outside a lot. On Friday, we had some good friends over for super, then we lit a fire in the fire pit while the kiddos played outside. Tayva had a blast. It was so nice to spend the evening by the fire and enjoy the fresh air!! On Saturday, we went to the zoo, without realizing it was "kids day". So, we got the bonus of taking that in too. They had all sorts of children's games etc to enjoy. Tayva had fun with the little games, she got to pick the duckies out of the tub, shoot baskets, go "fishing" etc. It was fun. On Saturday afternoon, we packed up our stuff and headed to our friend's river lot. It is so cool because their lot has a little beach, so we set up some lawn chairs, and had a picnic supper. The kids took about a 5 min break from playing in the water, to grab a bite to eat. Tayva loved splashing in the water, and throwing toys in and retrieving them. The water is really shallow, so it was perfect for her to play in.

Today, we took Bob and my dad out for brunch for father's day. Tayva (and it) made him a little picture book that Tayva decorated and filled it with pictures of he and Tayva. He really liked it. I also said that Tayva and I would take him shopping for some new cologne, as he just ran out. (see Aunt Lorella, cologne is ALWAYS a good gift for him--you do good :) So, after Tayva's nap, we went to the store to get his cologne. To wrap up his father's day, his great friend is in town from AZ, so they went out for a Coke, he watched some of the US Open, and now gets to watch the NBA playoffs. (I have to give a disclaimer here that he really doesn't watch all that much sports, he just likes to watch the "big games", and it just so happened that the US Open and the playoffs were both on today.)

So, it was a great weekend.
