Summer Weekend Fun

It was a beautiful weekend to get outside and that's exactly what we did.

Saturday we decided to see what the Henry Vilas Zoo was all about in Madison.

It turned out to be a lot of fun, hard to believe it is free admission. They have a nice variety of animals and pretty decent facilities. It is not nearly as big as the Milwaukee Zoo but the price is much more reasonable. Olivia really liked the animals and especially liked riding on the carousel. We did that twice, she played on the playground for a little while and then Jenny and I rode the little train with her also.
She couldn't decide what she liked best and when we asked her what her favorite part of the day was she said "eveything!".

We stopped at a restaurant for dinner in Madison on the way home which of course is another one of her favorite things to do.

We were all pretty tired by the time we got home.

On Sunday, another gorgeous summer day, after church we packed some things up and headed out for Pike Lake. There we did some hiking, swimming (but the water was pretty cold), Olivia played on the playground and then we went for pizza and finished up with ice cream.

Again we were all pretty tired by the end of the day but it was good to get out, get some exercise and enjoy the summer weather.
