Happy Valentine's Day

Olivia requested a heart-shaped hairdo for her school Valentine's party today. I think it turned out nicely. Happy Valentine's Day!

Aunt Paula's Wedding

Olivia had a fun weekend of dancing and getting her grove on.

Camping

We went camping this weekend, with my whole family. Except that we didn't really camp...we stayed in a local hotel. But my parents camped, and three of my siblings camped (the fourth one stayed in the hotel too), and we spent all of our waking hours at the camp, so it was like camping. Just without the sleeping-on-the-ground bit.

There was cornhole, washers, ladderball and badminton.

Also, playgrounds.
And chalk.

There was swimming.

And waterfalls in the woods.
There was also a constant campfire and camp food and riding bikes and scooters and hanging out and just generally enjoying the company of the whole family (some 20 of us). We are exhausted and a little sunburned, but it was a fabulous weekend overall.

We love our "backyard" waterpark

Holiday World opens!

Look who's tall enough to ride some of the big kid (42") rides...

She was very excited about this development...until she actually rode the rides.

Back to the tried-and-true "little kid" rides!

Also, spray park! Everyone loves a good spray park.

Happy Easter!

The one in which the parents are saying, "Hold onto her hands so she doesn't climb into the fountain." And Olivia is saying, "Come on, guys. Let's touch the water!"


The one in which I slap my head and realize that I don't have any pictures of Olivia in her Easter dress without that dab of chocolate under her lip.
