fun times

We had a lot of fun last weekend. We traveled up to our hometown for the first time since Christmas. On Saturday, we went to a waterpark with my family to celebrate our nephew William's second birthday. The girls had a blast with their grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles in the waterpark. As soon as we got there, Olivia took off with cousin Alex to go down one of the bigger waterslides. She didn't hesitate, and when she got to the bottom she stood up and yelled, "I went down the big waterslide and I wasn't scared!" Violet was content to just play in the water and ride down the Lazy River in a tube. She didn't want anything to do with the waterslides, but that was okay! After supper, Auntie Rhonda walked her around the Lazy River for over an hour while I went down the waterslide with Olivia and her cousin Evan. We had a lot of fun.

On Sunday, we went to Auntie Jill's house for breakfast. Olivia and Violet met cousin Nick's 70 baby chickens for the first time. They enjoyed petting them, but they didn't want to hold them because they were too squirmy. After seeing the chickens, Olivia declared "I want to name them. The black ones are Butler and the white ones are Florida." These two teams were in the recent NCAA March Madness basketball tournament, so we cracked up that they remembered those teams from watching the game on TV! Later, she named the brown chickens "Yogurt." We really enjoyed seeing our families and spending time with everyone!
