Happy 4th of July 2009!

The 4th of July weekend was our annual camping weekend at Grandma and Grandpa Manning's home. It was a little smaller crowd this year since the kids are all getting older and have jobs, cars, etc. and reasons why they cannot make it or can't stay the whole time. But we had a good time with too much food and drinks again. The weather was perfect all weekend, not too hot and no rain.

We brought some games along this time and even Grandma got in on the whiffle ball game.









Olivia had a great time of course and keeps everyone going. Grandma bought her a little ladybug sand box and she spent a lot of time in that. She still does real well sleeping in the tent and really seems to enjoy it.

The highlight of her weekend was going to the neighbors farm and getting to see a pony they have taken in. Olivia loved "Holly" and even though she was pretty stiff and sore that day her owner let Olivia sit on her back and take a couple slow walks with her. Since then, every day Olivia asks "we going to see the horse now?". Or, "afer my nap we go see horse?". "Maybe we go see horse tomanow?"

Although we had a great weekend it is hard to believe we are into July already. Won't be long and we will have to think about school shopping!
