Farm Park

Today we went to the Farm Park in East Peoria with a friend from work and her daughter, Carly (who is less than 2 weeks older than Olivia). The girls stopped to feed the ducks

Olivia and Carly sitting in the old fashioned desks

We were able to buy ice cream cones filled with food for the animals. Olivia liked feeding the goats. They sure were hungry!


Watching the cow getting milked:)



This was our last stop before leaving the park. Apparently there was something pretty enticing over to the left..... :)

Pentwater, MI

This weekend, Olivia and I visited Pentwater, Michigan with mom and dad, Justin and Taylor, and Jen, Nick, and the boys. Tim had to work a full day on Friday---so he opted to stay in Peoria and hold down the fort. We had a great time and look forward to going back another time. Olivia's feeding her baby doll before our long trip to Judson

She wants to get in the track with Logan.

Uncle Justin was a big helper (and carrier) in Tim's absence! Thanks Justin!!


Quality time with Aunt Jennifer

Olivia and I with Nick, Logan, and Owen---posing with Yogi Bear outside of Jellystone in Silver Lake.

Early morning hours in the camper

Olivia loved the sand and the water

We had a rainy day last week, so I attempted some whipping cream to let her play with---she was NOT interested!
