This weekend we headed up to Bloomington on Friday after Olivia's soccer game. We got to Bloomington just in time for baths, a little visit time, and then bed. On Saturday we woke up, had a little breakfast, and then headed to the Miller Park Zoo. There was a threat of rain in the afternoon, so we thought it was best to do the outside activities first. So we walked through the zoo and saw all of the animals. It was the perfect time to walk around because all of the animals were out eating and in rare form. The sea lion was talking rather loudly (which scared Joey), the monkey were out playing and one of them kept following Olivia all around it's cage. Livi and Joey had a lot of fun.
After the zoo we headed to the splash park. Unfortunately the weather was pretty cool so Livi and Joey could not play in the water, but they had fun playing on the play set. From the park, we headed to the mall to eat lunch at my favorite place, Great Steak. They make a delicious ham and pineapple sandwich! Unfortunately we do not have a Great Steak in Springfield, so I always treat myself to one when we go to Bloomington!
Saturday night, Livi, Joey, and I met Dad and Patty for dinner at Outback Steak House. It was really nice catching up with them and having a delicious dinner! Then after dinner, Kelly and Rick met us at Barnes and Noble so we could relax, have dessert, and read (our favorite things in the world)! On the way home, we stopped by to visit our good friends Debbie and Jane. Olivia desperately wanted to go and say hi, so we were sure to make that happen.
Thank you Kelly and Rick for inviting us down for our summer kick off! We had a great time and loved spending time with you! We love you!
