What a full Weekend!

Our weekend full of activities started Friday evening. Our Zoo just opened it's Russia's Grizzly Coast. [We've been talking about it and watching the constuction for the past year.] We met our good friends, Julie & Shawn, and their 4 kids to walk thru it, have a picnic, play, and just have fun. It was so packed since it was a member preview night. [we're used to going right when it opens during the week] I'm sure we'll get to see and enjoy more of the animals when we go at our usual time. Here are a few pics.
Saturday morning was breakfast at IKEA with grandma & papa, (my parents.) P&A love to go there for breakfast and then play with all the toys. Unfortunately, they are napping awful now (not good for a work at home mom) needless to say we had to pass on a housewarming party that evening because my usually well behaved children were little tired & whiny monsters.

Sunday was a fun filled day at grandma & papa's lake house. Thankfully the sun was out and the rain had disappeared so the kids could finally fish with their new fishing poles. Paxton is now a pro, he reels in the fish all by himself. Avery prefers someone helps hold the rod and reel it in for her. They caught so many fish we lost track of counting. In between fishing they got to ride the wave runners. Paxton loves to go fast and hit the bumps. Avery is happy to go fast but has to be in charge of the throttle! It is so funny to watch. (I have tons of fish pictures but on my parents camera.)


There were a few other things we did at home too that I'll be sharing in another post.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend too!! Enjoy your Monday!

Rainbow love

Image
The violet invitation design in rainbow colors with gold. LOVE, LOVE how they turned out!  I was excited when designing them digitally but seeing in print on natural white made me gush with joy! The bride loved them too.    The gold envelopes add an extra touch of excitement along with the invite and postcard rsvp. These are the save the dates, in greens and blues and grey.  (they did have rounded corners too, in my excitement to photograph while the sun was out and wind was low, I obviously forgot to round the corners) Planning a wedding or event? I'd love to work with you. Send me a note s tephanie@steliedesigns.com
