FRIDAY-
we hit up the zoo in the morning, not expecting a huge crowd since most people are still in work...ha ha, we were wrong! It was MAD.ness! To avoid the crowds we hit up some exhibits we don't normally see like the petting zoo (where Marvelly got rammed by a baby goat), the aviary (where no birds were out), the aquarium (which we actually always go to but wasn't crowded), and the bears.
And then we grilled out in the evening.
Simple, but fun.
SATURDAY-
Isaak went fishing with a buddy bright and early in the morning and caught himself a little fishy.
He had fun, which has now sparked another hobby no doubt.
As soon as Isaak got home we headed to Plattsmouth for lunch.
And I must say that is the cutest little country town ever!
Not all of it, but their historic Main St. was right out of a movie. We stumbled upon an old soda fountain shop and ate lunch, all four of us, plus dessert for $28.
28 bucks, seriously, all four of us...you can't feed your whole family and have dessert at a restaraunt these days (Burger King excluded) for 28 bucks. People would walk up to the counter and say things like, "not a lot of cars on Main St. today," and "see ya tomorrow
Bob, "and,"looks like business is busy today Sue,"....
I felt like singing, "Sometimes you want to go, where everybody knows your name"

It's like we stepped back in time. I love finding little treasures like this place.
after lunch we strolled Main St. and went to a used book store and a little antique store. Girls were done by that point so we headed back, got good naps, and then played in the sprinklers...
matchy bathing suits
weather was perfect,
it was suppose to rain all weekend, but uh-uh everyday was like this instead
testing out the cold water
making sure my girls get good use out of those suits
she finally has a sister to do stuff like this with-love that.
deciding she'd rather chew on a racket than get thrown in the cold water again
turned the sprinkler on high once Marvelly had enough and Sydaleigh just ran
through that water. Last summer she wouldn't go near the water if it was too high,
now she loves it.
all done for the day.
simple, but fun.
SUNDAY-
we made smores in the pit and put up the girls fun tents in the back yard
and pretended to camp. (Isaak doesn't do real camping)
marshmallowy mashmallows make for a messy Marvelly
that would be Marvelly, standing on the slide, mimicking Sydaleigh. We are in a big 'lets stand on everything' phase.
MONDAY-
I hit up the gym in the morning-ahhhh, started my day off right.
Then Isaak took Sydaleigh for a special fishing trip, just the two of them. She was so excited to go, that's all she would talk about for two days. Me and Marvi stayed home and hung out, so we both got some separate time in with the girls. And that was it. Isaak cooked dinner for me that night so I scored pretty well in the 'not having to cook a whole lot this holiday weekend' which was fine by me.
and now we are back to norm, Isaak is working long hours this week for an exercise, but it's still only a four day work week, thanks to our four day weekend. Nice.

fun, fun, fun...I was meaning to tell you that you passed us on the way from Plattsmouth on Saturday. We had lunch at the Chocolate Moose, Sobha said it looked like something out of the movies. She kept asking, "where are all the people?"
Looks like a party weekend!! We got some serious rain, but didn't let that put a damper on our fun! Hope you guys are enjoying summertime!! Your girls are growing up TOO FAST!
