We started out the weekend Friday morning at the zoo with the Muellers. Charlie really seemed to enjoy it a lot this time around. Although she still hates goats for some reason and wouldn't even let me attempt to bring her into the cow barn. She screamed bloody murder! But she LOVED the aquarium and all the monkeys. And Greyson and her are just too cute together!

Saturday we packed up a picnic lunch and headed to Lake Calhoun beach to hang out in the gorgeous weather w/ the Mohs and Muellers (minus Travis who was riding w/ Wade). It was perfect weather for the beach! Charlie only got into the water twice and that was because I picked her up and made her try it out. Each time she'd say "no, no, no" over and over and walk right back out of the water. Oh well, maybe next time. She still enjoyed herself digging in the sand and playing w/ sticks (what is it w/ sticks? Those and rocks are the worlds coolest things according to Charlie!).

After the beach Charlie was beat and so we headed home for a nap and then went to a nearby park once she woke up. It was a busy and fun day!

Sunday we kept things around home. It was SUPER hot and windy out and the wind did not cool you down. It just made it feel like you were getting blasted by a heater. So we went to Old Navy and had some lunch and then played out back waiting for Wade to get home from the ride. We started out w/ bubbles which she loves but they didn't last long. Charlie has been enthralled by this dirt patch we have in our back yard for quite some time now and once again she ventured towards it to play. So I coated her in sunscreen and a hat and diaper and nothing else. It was so hot and I knew she was going to get super dirty so why cause myself the extra laundry? She dug right into the dirt and next thing you know she is COATED. Wade came home and after laughing at her appearance we set up a sprinkler that she walked through a bit before finally bringing her in and cleaning her up for dinner. She had a blast in that dirt. Who'd have thought? It's basically like a small sandbox so it seems Wade will have to look into building her one soon b/c we're eventually going to seed the dirt patch.

| WOW!!! Cool!!! |

| My little dirt ball! |

| Her new favorite activity: diving over the side of the couch. We have to be ready to catch her! |
Then we went to dinner at Roat Osha w/ Bob, Amy and Steve (some other friends who completed the 150 mile bike ride with Wade). A great way to end the weekend: superb Thai food and tasty drinks. No room for complaints here!
Anyone else do anything fun over the weekend? Gotta love summer time!
Cheers~
