Keeping with the theme of sleepovers, we hosted one of our own last weekend with our favorite Jersey cousins, Colin and Genevieve. I cannot even tell you how much we love having them live nearby! It was a gorgeous, pool-worthy weekend, and we spent as much time as we could enjoying the summer sun.

After an afternoon running in and out of the pool, we got a 3-for-1 deal at bath time. Rub-a-dub-dub, three cuties in a tub!
Little sleeping beauty, all tuckered out from those crazy boys.
On Saturday evening, we took Colin over to the pond for his first time fishing... which perhaps may also have been his last? Colin was so excited for his turn that he went running towards Liam just as he was casting his line, and Liam's fish hook (worm bits and all) went right through poor Colin's ear. Yikes! Daddy scooped up Colin and all the fishing gear and ran full tilt to Aunt Doreen and Uncle Sam's to see if they might be able to help dislodge the hook. It quickly became clear that a trip to a professional was in order, so off they went to the ER. Colin was beyond brave and a true champion through it all-- he didn't even cry when the doctor removed the hook!
On Sunday, we decided to lighten the mood a little with a trip to the Philadelphia Zoo.
For the first time in ages, the
Zoo Balloon was actually flying-- and since it's supposed to be its last year in operation, I was dying to finally get a chance to ride it! Liam agreed to be my riding buddy, and up, up, and away we went.

Zoo360 was also in full swing that day, and we got to see all kinds of cool monkeys just hanging around.

It was a fun way to end a very fun weekend!
