We had a great day at the petting zoo in Leesburg. The area is so beautiful and we found some fun places to visit on the weekends. David really liked feeding the llamas, "rein"deer , baby goats and baby piggies. He chased a turkey and several chickens, rode a pony and even got a chuckle at the puppet show even though he initially tried to convince his parents that he "really won't like it". Mommy liked the donkey, the giant tortise and the macaw birds. Daddy had to carry Buddy in part of the petting area as those crazy goats were getting rowdy. The camel and llama were pretty cool though. David finished the day with a yummy Sponge Bob Square Pants ice cream bar. Perfect. And for those of you that have been asking for my stomach pictures, look closely and you will get a couple of free shots. Ridiculously huge. Enough said. Anyway, we had a great time over this long weekend holiday!

Ok, this is a couple of weeks late. Better late than never. David's Pop Pop was in town for the weekend of Mother's Day. We decided to go to the nearby working farm for sheep shearing day. We had a great time! We got to watch the sheep being shaved for the summer, ride a wagon around the park, play with the animals, see the new baby piggies, "ride" a red tractor and do arts and crafts. The little sheep and construction paper placemat that David made are proudly displayed on the fridge for those that will be visiting to admire! What a fun Mother's Day at Frying Pan Park Sheep Shearing Day!

What do three generations of Olson men do when they get together? Of course, Fish!

Pop-pop was here this weekend to bring us our boat and do a little fishing in the process. He was let into the secret order of urbanTrout fishermen as our honey hole is a deeply protected secret among a handful of locals. Caught some Rainbows, a couple Crappie, and a few Bass. Overall, we had a great weekend and we miss Pop-pop already.

Just one picture of David with a blue tongue. We've been indulging in a little ice cream lately. He likes mint chocolate chip, strawberry and of course, rainbow blue! Must include the sprinkles on whatever his favorite of the day is!

We hit the jackpot today! Yesterday was the last major trout stock of the season. We hit the local hotspot and got five Trout. We lost about the same number.

It was lot's of fun. David squealed with each fish! Too bad Trout Season is almost over.
