Our plans fell through for Memorial Day Weekend so we ended up having an ultra relaxing time. It was the first time for as long as we could remember that we had absolutely NO PLANS and no visitors on a weekend when Greg was home. Greg was off from Thursday- Monday so it was the most amount of time we were able to spend with him at once since Christmas. We went to the Zoo, the YMCA pool several times, the beach, a Tides Baseball game with the John and Nicole Morris, and the Strawberry Festival with the Rubados. We also got hooked on the HBO series True Blood and watched it each night. It was a wonderful "Staycation".
Ava was so excited to see a goat and pet it. She has no fear with animals.
Checking out the cows with Dada
Signing to me that the reptiles were sleeping
Our favorite exhibit were the monkeys. They know how to put on a show!
The peacocks just roam the Zoo
This is the little prairie dog tunnel. They had a great time in there.
The Prairie Dogs are obviously acclimated to humans popping up in the viewing bubbles
Giraffes!
Off to the pool. Daddy brings out Ava's daredevil side.
She does NOT like going through the rings but Daddy makes her try everything
These waterfalls are her favorite part of the pool
Tides Game! We were dodging foul balls all game so it was an intense game! The pitcher did such a great job though that the next day he was called up to play for the Orioles.
Strawberry Festival with the Rubados. They had this neat old fashioned rootbeer that they took advantage of.
I was ALL about the chocolate covered strawberries which I was forced into sharing with my fellow redhead.
Yumo!
Daddy stroll with matching strollers
We got rained on! Ava loved the umbrella though.
The Rubados. Can you believe Michael is already 4 months old!
Rain Rain go away
We had an impromptu picnic
Sooooo cute
Turkey Leg!
Eric and I were all about the Strawberry Shortcake
Beach Day!
playing catch with the ball outside
annoyed that I wanted her to turn around for a picture
Time to venture into the ocean
trying to reason with her...
Wanting nothing to do with it.
Bubbles. She is obsessed.
We went out for dinner and Ava LOVED playing with the clam shells
They were starting a little band
She is giving the shells kisses here.
