Where did the weekend go?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!  I had quite an eventful one!  The hubby and I took Alivia to York’s Wild Kingdom in York, ME with her Auntie Nancy, Uncle Erik, and friend Mackenzie on Saturday, Auntie Gina’s on Sunday, and Nana’s on Monday!  By Monday afternoon, Livi* was asking for nothing more than to go home.  I’ve noticed that as much as Livi enjoys getting out of the house and socializing that she gets over stimulated after awhile and wants to be left alone.  Oh the tribulations of being an only child!  Poor baby!  I don’t blame her though, her mama is the same way!  With that said, we took her home and she relaxed with Daddy for the rest of the day while I went to the mall with my mom and started Livi’s Fall shopping!  I say started because I still have shoes, outwear, and some hair accessories to purchase.  Lucky for me I love shopping (I sort of have a serious shopping problem addiction) or I might find this to be overwhelming! 

On a different note, I can’t say enough about York’s Wild Kingdom!  What a great zoo and amusement park!  The weather was perfect walking around weather too (about 75 degrees and sunny)!  Livi absolutely loved it!  It was also Livi’s first time going on an amusement ride by herself!  As much as it was nerve racking for Mommy and Daddy, it was such a joy too! 

I got a lot of zoo pictures but haven’t processed a majority of them so I’m only attaching a few here.  I hope to have more processed to share with you again this week!
 

I’m linking up this next shot to Sweet Shot Tuesdays!

I’m linking up the photo below to the following photo challenges.

* I don’t know why but when I started calling Alivia “Livi” I spelled it Livvy. To me, it just seemed like the correct way to spell it. Now, however, after thinking about it I feel as though it should be spelled “Livi” as these letters are present in her name. The y and extra v are not. Still not sure how I should be spelling it though. I Just thought I’d share this with you so you wouldn’t think I was smoking something with all the various spellings. I went from Livvy, to Livy, and now to Livi. I don’t know, what do you guys think? Does it really matter?
