Labor Day Weekend


Madie and I headed west for the long weekend to visit MiMi and Granddaddy.  We had such a good time and I am not sure Madie was ready to leave! 

Saturday morning Granddaddy took us to the zoo.  Madie LOVED the flamingos. Must be the pink.

 Catching a breeze with Granddaddy
 We bought crackers to feed the giraffe but he wasn't hungry so we used them  to feed the fish instead.  Madie did such a good job throwing it out to them!

 When we got home, Madie put on a few accessories and played some games.  She kept making this HYSTERICAL surprise face when Minnie would pop up but for some reason my camera was blurry.  :(  And MiMi threatened me with my life if I posted a few.  See I do mind sometimes.
 Madie discovered my old jewelry drawer in my room and said "AHHHH!".  She put on everything her little arm could hold.  Here she is checking herself out in the mirror. 
 Sunday morning we headed out to Cross Cut to visit the horses. Jake couldn't wait to say hi!

 Watching Granddaddy take out the feed
 Petting the sweetest one of the bunch, Rooster.

 Madie got pictures with all the horses except for crazy Baccacita Jewel.  She just wasn't having it.  Here is Madie trying out the saddle.  Looks like a cowgirl to me!
 And just like a true Texas girl, after we got home from the country she got all dolled up and headed out shopping! Ha!  MiMi let her wear all her jewelry to the mall. 
Madie had such a great time in Abilene and even started saying "Grandad" this weekend!  She cheered on the Aggies in honor of Uncle Chad and Case and had ample opportunities to do her touchdown arms.  Kelly, Chad and Cooper were at the game and Kelly sent MiMi a picture of Cooper - Madie kept kissing it. SO funny!  Great long weekend and now back to reality!
