Madison - the hunt for the beautiful dress

Thanks to Auntie Babs, we found the beautiful dress first thing on Friday morning at a wonderful neighborhood garage sale (and lots of other loot). As you can tell by these pictures, it didn't come off for the rest of the trip! Luckily, we were able to convince her to take it off for naps (so we could wash it), but otherwise it was a staple of the trip.

In addition to a Cinco de Mayo party and dinner date with Grandpa, and a petting zoo with Grandma and Grandpa, here are some other places she sported her dress (which drew lots of attention!)

Farmer's Market - big decision...
good choice!
The balloon man made her a sword (yes, such a girlie choice) then showed off his juggling

In the tulips at the capitol.



And of course on a very special Mother's Day where we celebrated by dancing to Mollie's favorite... live Irish music!

What a wonderful blessing it is to be your mother. I love you Mollie Laine. You light up my life!

When we left Madison, Mollie gave her dress a big hug and kiss goodbye. She will surely be counting down the days until she walks back through your door and can jump back in the beautiful dress.
