Here she is in the pool. She had to have her "cup" in there with her. However, she kept putting it out and putting it back in. She loves to sort and stack, and I think that is what she was trying to do.
Sunday it rained here most of the afternoon, so after Madison woke up from her nap we went to Cabela's. It is just a couple of miles down the road from our house. We had been saying we should go there sometime, but it's really not a place that Jeff and I would ever go. I mean it is hunting, fishing, and camping stuff. We spent a little over an hour there. They had an aquarium and a lot of stuffed animals. Madison seemed to like looking at the fish and all the animals.
There is a huge display in the middle of the store that is a replica of a mountain with a waterfall in it and a stream at the bottom. All over the "mountain" are the stuffed animals. Here is a pic of one side of it...
Madison really liked the polar bear. She has a few books that have a polar bear in them, so I think she recognized it. She was really excited.
And for those of you that have known us for awhile, you may remember that we had some issues with chipmunks. Well, they had a stuffed one!!! So, I had to take a pic of it!
Of course this being a hunting store, they had a TON of camo. So, here is Jeff trying on camo crocs!
And, they had a whole "home" section with furniture and accessories. They had kid sized camo recliners! We WON'T be getting one any time soon!
And, today we went for a walk in the early morning, and then Jeff decided that he wanted to put up the gate for the stairs. It turned into an all day affair. We were supposed to go to our friends Brad and Traci's for a bbq and to swim, however, the gate took WAY too long. So, we never made it. I won't go into detail about what went wrong with this gate. It's up, and it looks good. We had to use a board to screw the bracket into because it wouldn't fit flush against the wall with out it. So, I still need to slap some paint on it, but otherwise we are both pretty happy with it.
So, here it is. We put it at the top of the stairs.
And, here is a close up of the board we had to use.
We did get back in the kiddie pool for about 45 minutes. Then we had dinner, and Jeff did a quick mow job. He's leaving to go to California for the week, so it had to get done.
Overall, we had a great holiday weekend. It was nice to spend time as a family! I hope everyone else had a great weekend!
