Mid-May Excursions & Memorial Weekend Visit

The Saturday before last, we went to the 23rd Annual Rare and Unusual Plant Sale at Southside Community Land Trust (our 9th annual visit!).  Neither kid really cooperated, which made the experience difficult, but at least Oliver enjoyed the chickens.


Later that day was the Gordon School carnival, which both kiddos enjoyed.  Madeline liked the food best ...


... while Oliver enjoyed the bunnies.


The next day was Holden's birthday party.  Madeline made her a card with two unicorns.


It was also Oliver's 21-month birthday.



As a big almost-two-year-old, Oliver continues to enjoy books ...


... a lot!


Over Memorial Day weekend, Anna and Neal and Mira came to visit!


On Saturday, we went to the zoo and the kiddos fed the goats.


There was a family of geese roaming the zoo with us.  Given the goslings' penchant for roaming, we were surprised not to see the goose-parents attack any children.



On Sunday, we took a picnic lunch to Colt State Park.


The kiddos played very nicely together.  Here you can see them chasing a groundhog!


And here's Oliver and Mira throwing rocks into the water ...


... while Madeline did her own thing.


The kiddos also played nicely together at our house, complete with ferocious roars ...


... and bulkhead sliding.


(Oliver paused in his playing to check the library.)


Then, just before it was time for our guests to head home, we lined the kiddos up for one last adorable shot.
