Memorial Day

Oh Memorial Day weekend. How wonderful it was...I'll take a 3 day weekend all the time, please. :)

Daniel & I had pretty much no plans for the weekend...so perfect. We could do whatever we wanted, and Daniel was actually OFF the entire weekend!

Saturday morning we took Bridget & Carter to the zoo. I never get the chance to babysit them or do anything fun with them, so it was fun to do it. Plus, I've been wanting to go to the zoo for a long time, and haven't had a reason to go. :) 

Carter was extremely enthusiastic with every animal we saw, which was quite entertaining. Bridget showed us around as she knew exactly where everything was at, and all the names of the animals. I didn't even know what some of the animals were, but she did. You can tell they've been to the zoo a few times. :) 

Afterwards we headed to McDonalds for lunch. Can't beat the happy meals that are on sale. :) They rushed to the playground thing. Gag... those things are so full of germs. But since I'm such a nice aunt, I let them play on it anyway. At least they have hand sanitizing wipes there now to use afterwards!

Then it was time to head back home for naps... so I of course had to get my fill with this little muchkin. :)

She's so perfect and sweet

Saturday afternoon we went to Daniel's parents to do chores since they were gone for the weekend. I got to feed baby calves. They did slobber all over my feet...which I dealt with. :) But I think there's a reason why I didn't marry a farmer. :)

We headed out to Lughinbuhl's lake afterwards to fish and have our own little cookout with Fred & Jodi. It was a nice evening, and as usual, the lake was beautiful. I didn't catch any fish though... I think I've lost my love for fishing. I used to love it... probably because we've gone on a fishing trip to Wisconsin every year since I was 8. But, I don't have the patience anymore. Unless I'm on vacation and getting sun at the same time. :)

On Sunday Daniel got sick... the worse I've ever seen him. We went to church all day, but afterwards he felt horrible. So we had a relaxing night on the couch, something we don't do very often. Sometimes I feel like the only time I sit in our living room is when we have people over.

Monday morning he was feeling much better, with no fever. So we headed over to my mom and dad's for breakfast. It was delicious, especially since I didn't have to make it!
The rest of the day we cleaned out and got rid of SO much junk. How did we accumulate so much stuff in just 2 years?! I feel like I have so much I want to get done before the baby is born. So it was a good day to start those kind of projects I've been wanting to tackle.
For dinner we went to One World with Mom, Dad, & Luke. It was wonderful.... we went back to my parents and played Ticket to Ride with Luke. Definitely our favorite game for us three to play together, since it seems it's always just us three. Adam's always busy doing his own thing. :)

Needless to say, it was a very relaxing and wonderful weekend. Relaxing and getting organized is my #1 priority on the weekends, and I definitely did just that.
