An Early Grandmother's/Mother's Day!

My mom came to visit this past weekend! She hasn't been to Olympia for awhile because of all the baby showers that have been taking place in Everett so the girls were thrilled to have her spend the night with us! On Saturday, we ran errands together and then came home and we worked down at the house. My mom (who is notorious for her cleaning skills!) cleaned out our two bath tubs that have been filled with all different contractors extra scraps and dust. It was gross but the tubs are sparkly clean now! On Sunday, we decided to celebrate Grandmother's Day and Mother's Day a week early. We are hoping that we will see each other next Sunday anyways at the hospital if baby Emilie decides to cooperate! We started our very sunny day off by walking around Capital Lake and heading to one of the girls favorite parks downtown~ Percival Landing. We spent over an hour playing at the park and then continued to walk along the water to the local Farmers Market. As you can see from the top pictures Taylor and Maddie enjoyed having a ride in the stroller and also picked out yummy Fuji apples to snack on. Both the girls sat and listened to an all female band play lots of fun and interesting songs. After the market, we decided to walk back down past the park and eat lunch outside at a local restaurant. Across from the restaurant was our next destination; the Fountain! The fountain is a local favorite that shoots up water in all different parts of the park. Kids and adults alike have lots of fun on hot days here!

A beautiful day by the Capitol!

We ended our day with a trip to the local nursery where Grandma got to pick out lots of flowers as a special treat! As you can see by the pictures one of us stayed in the car for a little cat nap!

Happy Mother's Day and Grandmother's Day! We love you lots Mom and "Nama Taffy"!
