This weekend did not suck. We were again blessed with great weather, and my parents decided to come into town Thursday afternoon. We picked up Emma Kate from daycare and went to the third week of Swing into Summer.
Except this week trumped all, because they had a petting zoo.
Animals?!? WHERE!
Girlfriend went CRAZY. She petted, talked to, squealed at, and played with all the animals. She was so overwhelmed she didn’t know which one to go to, so kept hopping around from one to the other.
One of the workers handed her a brush so she went around brushing the animals. She is FEARLESS and walked right up to this guy. II t was adorable.
Bobby got her (after a few failed attempts) to feed the animals out of her hand and she kept wanting to do it over and over.
The pig was a big hit, too.
This little goat was only 7 weeks old. It still drank from a bottle and every time it made noise EK jumped and squealed. I think we would have stayed all night if it were up to her.
My parents had fun watching her interact with the animals, dance to the music, and attempt to eat a snowball.
It may or may not have ended up all over the ground.
I’m sad we only have one more week of Swing into summer, we have been having a blast!
Friday morning I went with my dad to Lowes and we bought some paint. I have been wanting to paint my dining room table for YEARS and since my dad is a really good painter, I signed him up for the job without his knowledge. Thanks dad!
Apparently I am NOT a good painter because after helping with the first coat for primer, he said he would finish the rest by himself. Sad times. Anyway, this table is old yall, like I ate off it when I was a toddler. Despite it’s age, it was in good shape. I was not about to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new one when this one was plenty sturdy, but I was willing to buy $45 worth of paint to make it look brand new.
It turned out GREAT, and we decided to leave the leaf out to make the room look bigger. I plan to do a full post one exactly what we used because people have been asking me, so stay tuned! I’m super happy with how it turned out, the room looks so much brighter!
Friday afternoon my mom and I did a little shopping and stopped at Starbucks for a pick me up.
We went back home to pick up EK and the boys before heading to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Papitos, for dinner.
Saturday morning I ran some errands with my dad, and then we sat outside and played in the water with Emma Kate. The original forecast called for rain all weekend but the weather was awesome.
Saturday after lunch, my parents and I went and looked at a few of the parade of homes houses. A bunch are really close to my house so we were able to check out several before they had to drive back to Louisiana.
After they left, Emma Kate played in the water again and we just enjoyed the evening at home. Sunday morning was church and more relaxing and enjoying the sunshine. Temperatures are getting up to the upper 80’s this week so this may have been our last cooler weekend until fall (nnooo!)
Another great weekend in the books. So glad I have my blog to keep track of these great memories!
QOTD: What did you do this weekend? Ever painted furniture?
What a fun weekend!!
Sounds like a fun weekend! Ours was busy but fun too! And I LOVED the cooler air on Sunday and today! Too bad it wasn’t there for my long run Saturday morning…which was horrible! The table looks AMAZING!!!!! And I love your chairs!!!
So glad your parents were in to enjoy the weekend with you guys! Looks like so much fun!!
That table turned out great! I didn’t even realize it was the same one.
Watching little kids interact with animals is so fun. EK looks like she was having so much fun. I can’t believe how big she’s getting. She’s no longer a baby, she’s becoming a little girl! I bet that makes you a tad sad?
Yes it does make me sad! Some days we look at her and say “wow she looks like a big kid today!”
