Last weekend

Last weekend was a fun one! My mom's birthday weekend started off on Friday with a surprise birthday party (which ended up not being a surprise... long story).
She wanted the band to play, and Andy was able to reunite with them for the evening! (My dad is on the drums; completely hidden)

Annika with the birthday girl. See Annika's bare feet and wet pants? Whenever someone wasn't watching her for a moment, she'd get into the water feature.

Getting a front row seat! Moving her chair from the crowd, up the ramp, to RIGHT in front of the band.

She is such a busy girl.

Down for a moment, and then off again...

Alexa was well cared for the whole night... love these girls!

First Sunday at church!
Then Sunday, the birthday girl wanted to take Annika to the zoo in Peoria!

I was quite impressed- it was definitely better than I remembered it, and the addition of Africa was pretty great.

Annika loved it. Her favorite thing, though, was the meerkat exhibit. One was running back and forth, over and over. She followed it back and forth, back and forth... giggling the whole time. I'm pretty sure Grandpa got it on video, so if it turns out, I'll share. :)
