Abilene

Dad was on vacation this week so we made a trip to Abilene. We were there from Thursday to Sunday. As always, it flew by but we had a great time. Thursday Madison spent her time playing in the pool her Papa and Grammy bought her.

She's cleaning it out...she watched Grammy do this to the big pool and decided she needed to clean her pool.



Her Papa played with her. He let her do whatever she wanted. At one point she was filling his pockets with water. He also taught her bad things...like how to splash all of us who were watching. She loved playing in the water.

On Friday we went to the zoo! Madison loves animals. She knows most of them and can tell you the sounds they make. She really loved the monkeys, ducks and giraffes.

Here she is looking at the ducks

Feeding the giraffes





I had to include this picture because this is the face we get if we say, "say cheese".


she got to ride on lots of shoulders...




she now sits on the belly instead of the hip...

After the zoo we went to eat at McDonalds so she could play on the playground. She couldn't get up this one. She can climb up the one here but this one was a little bit bigger. Her Uncle Michael helped her get to the top. She was so cute and so excited. The whole way up she kept saying "come on, come on". She wanted Michael to go through all of it with her. Seeing as how it says 4-12 years old and he's 23, he didn't think he should continue on.


On Saturday we went to Nana and Pa's house. Madison loved all the attention she was getting from all of her grandparents. We went to eat lunch and then played at Nana's the rest of the afternoon. We tried to go back to the zoo but it closed early. So, Madison played in the backyard on her Elmo water pad that mom had gotten for her last year.







On Sunday, Madison played with her Nana and Pa til about noon and then we headed over to Dad's for Father's Day lunch.





Madison is not going to know what to do now that we are at home and she doesn't have everyone doing everything she wants them to do and when she wants them to do it. She was very spoiled over the past 4 days. She got lots of things, ate lots of junk and stayed up late. I guess that's what grandparents are for. Now it's back to reality with us! :)
