Chocolate chip cookies and apples

Our happy girl at Olive Garden.
Discovering her creative side.

She woke up at 10pm to see Grandpa and Grandma Sprouse when they arrived Thursday night. Olivia can HAM it up when she wants to.

Olivia and Audrey on a play date at the Virginia Living Museum. This was near the end of our time, and they were both about done.

The Beach!

Our good friends Lawrence and Bekah and the kids are here visiting from MN! We had a great time at VA Beach on Saturday. Olivia loved the sand and water, even though she got knocked over a few times by rogue waves. She always came out laughing and wanting more. I try not to think about all the sand she ate:)

This was taken right before we left. It started to rain and get "chilly." (75ish)

Not sure what to think of the warm sand all inbetween her toes. She wasn't hesitant for long.

Watching the waves from a safe distance.

The salt tastes good.

Olivia did really well in the car. She pointed out the window a lot.

All ready for bed.

Exploring our home.

She really wanted to wear Bill's bandana and had to have the glasses to complete the look.
