Here are some pictures from the second half of our trip back to Michigan. The girl cousins:
Being silly!
Willa with my friend Kara's twins Brynn and Nate. They are all wearing their Hip Violet bibs. Awww!
We also visited my friend Sue and her girls Megan and Madison at a horse show. Violet got to help lead Black Jack back to the trailer.
One of the big reasons we were in Michigan was the annual Pig Roast! Violet got to swim in the lake on a nice hot and humid pig roast day.
Back home again!
After all the horses we got to see back in Michigan, Violet decided she was ready to give riding a try (FINALLY!). She did SO good!
Willa even got the chance to sit up on his back. She LOVED it! And screamed and cried when we took her down.
Willa is our little adventurous daredevil. She doesn't know she's only 1 and shouldn't be doing all these crazy things! She can climb up the ladder of our playset alllll by herself. Usually we are there to help her but sometimes if we aren't watching she will zip up there all by herself. I finally had to barricade it so she couldn't go up - mostly because our slide is FAST and HIGH and I don't want her going down by herself!
Sweet Violet
Who took a leap off the swing on our swingset, landed on her shoulder, and broke her collarbone.
Of course the orangey-red sling with lime green turtles didn't last long...
We took a family trip to the zoo on Labor Day. It was a little chilly day so all the animals were out and VERY active. It was so cool! Here is Violet feeding the lorakeets.
Later we watched the polar bear jump and play. He walked RIGHT by Violet, then stood up on his hind le
... and leapt into his pool!
Those slings are cool. Did you make them?
ReplyDeleteHi Corinne!
ReplyDeleteI didn't make it - I just made a piece of fabric to go over the existing one - kind of like a patch :) I just couldn't do those ugly sea turtles - they didn't match anything Violet wears! :)
