The day after school was out, we packed up and headed to Memphis to visit Olivia and her parents. We had a blast and even though it was in the upper 90's, we braved the heat and had Olivia show us her zoo. Memphis has a great zoo and we love going there!
Here she is introducing her favorite donkey:
Love those curls!
Ian and Dad at the farm
Beautiful Girl
Lindsay and Troy are blessed with some amazing neighbors who were so kind to let us enjoy their pool every day that we were there. Thank you so much, Henry and Patsy!!!
I'm sure Olivia is telling Lucas what to do:
No one loves the water more than Ian. He loves to be thrown but with his added height, it's getting more and more difficult to launch him very far, so Tom decided to see if he wanted to go off the diving board. Dumb question. Of course he wanted to....as many times as Dad could lug him out of the water and onto and off of the board. He LOVED it!!!
Another amazing Memphis attraction is the Botanic Gardens. I've only seen a smidgon of the gardens but they have several acres dedicated to children, called My Big Back Yard and it's awesome! This is Lucas on the bridge from the tree house to the slide.
One of my favorites is these boards that fit together like lincoln logs.
An outdoor marimba
Giant worm tunnels
Several adorable themed play houses. Olivia loved the doors.
Chimes to bang on
Who is that cool dude in the boat?
Olivia wading in the "river"
Jeremy also in the river
Lucas' feeding fish and geese
Another day in the pool....
Olivia never goes to the pool without hairbows that match her swim suits!
Thank you Lindsay, Troy and Olivia for letting us crash and for spending time with us!
