A vaction like weekend

We had a wonderful weekend that almost felt like we were on vacation. We had a relaxing Friday night after Alan got home and we went and picked out a new color for our family room. Saturday morning we went to the zoo. It was Samantha's first time, but she slept through most of it. Luke loves seeing all the animals and it was a good way for me and Alan to get in some exercise. Luke and I went into the butterfly exhibit where they have all these butterflies flying around. I love butterflies, but it was kind of weird because I was so worried about stepping on one or having one land on me and Luke kind of got scared.

We went home and Alan grilled hot dogs on the grill for us which we love, we all took naps and then we went swimming at the neighborhood pool. This was our first time going. They have a big pool shaped like the state of Texas and there is a kiddie pool that is only 1 1/2 feet deep with a little fountain in the middle. Sammy and I spent the whole time in the kiddie pool. I was worried that Sammy wouldn't like the water, but when I put her feet in she didn't cry or anything. She didn't really play in the water, but I think she was enjoying it. She was so comfortable in the water and I think so tired from being out so much that she actually fell a sleep in the water, can you believe that she actually fell asleep in the water. After the pool we went and had a nice dinner at a great Italian restaurant. It was a real enjoyable day.
