We couldn't take a beach vacation this year, so instead we took the girls to the Louisville zoo and swimming at a hotel pool in Louisville - same thing, right? I don't think they realized much difference. We had a blast - vacations are all about family time anyway!
Riding the Merry-Go-Round
Ready for the sunshine!
Lilly loves the lizards (ugh).
I like the flamingos better :)
Cuddle time with Daddy's girl
We are all fans of the elephants!
The daffodils were incredible!
Stopping to smell the flowers.
The girls were worn out after the zoo, but that didn't stop some serious swimming after some rest time!
Check out Olivia's belly-flop form!
I think those swimming lessons are paying off :)
The pool was a little cold for Lilly so we snuggled poolside while Olivia and Daddy swam.

Since Olivia's party was the night before her actual birthday, we had to do something to celebrate the official day - so in the spirit of those infamous words, "Let them eat cake!" we let her Liv have cake for breakfast! She loved it, obviously! Happy 6th Birthday to my precious, beautiful, intelligent, and caring little girl who promises me that she will always be my baby no matter how old she gets. I expect her to keep her promise and Olivia, when you read this one day, remember, you are always my baby and I love you more than anything in the world! Mommy is so proud of the child you are and the young lady you are becoming!
