happy memorial day!

in typical american fashion, adam and i used a sacred united states holiday to shop till we dropped! we hit up the outlets in orlando and fortunately (unfortunately for our bank account), they did not disappoint. despite the extreme heat and humidity, olivia was a great sport. we decided to be like the other crazy tourists running around and snap a few shots...

so big!

where we did the most damage....

O giving me some 'tude in the car while we waited for dad
(yes, she did get in her carseat after this--don't judge me)

all better with a headband to slick back those sweaty locks!

clearly shopping wears her out, too.

enjoying another american tradition...
(these were actually taken the other day, but we did enjoy wendy's on the way home from the outlets so it's all the same)

delish!

we also went to do a little swimming with olivia's cousins coleman and mckinley, but we only had about 30 minutes in the pool before yet another torrential downpour started. the kids decided to have a little dance party inside and this is a clip i captured. if you can't tell, olivia is frantic to be able to stand up and copy the other kids, but she's very mad she can't. she finally just does what she has to do to get out of that dumb chair! 



**in all seriousness, adam did bring to my attention how many family members we have in our history that have given some type of this service to our country. i can honestly say i don't know how they did it. amazing. needless to say, we are grateful!

I love everything about this post! Olivia's face in the 'tude photo, and how darling she is when she is sleeping, and especially loved the shout out to Vets in smaller print.

Haha Jess is so funny! I loved the post Abbie. Olivia is such a cutie. I'm glad you were able to shop at Banana on M day. I tried going to the one by my house at like 6:00 and they were CLOSED! What happened to the 9:00pm close time? So, I went to Old Navy and it just wasn't the same. Although, Molly DOES have like 20 swim suits now :)
