Family fun

Lots of pictures on this one.

We've been gardening this week, pulling weeds. The girls like to help (or, more accurately, just pose in the garden with shovels).

We went to Henry's birthday party Thursday evening. Happy birthday Henry!!!

The party didn't wind down until about 2 hours after we normally put the girls in bed. The sun was going down on the corn fields ...

but the kids were still full of energy.

Pause to watch Uncle David dig up a pricker.

Running again!

The girls slept in until 7:40 the next morning!!! That's a new record for Molly.


Friday morning Molly chose to dress in her fairy costume. It got quite a reaction on our afternoon walk to the library. My favorite, though, was in the morning at Grandma's house.

Flying fairy!

Wait, hold that thought, Fairy has to take a call on the flashlight.

This morning Molly had ballet class. Kate and I spent the 45 minutes exploring a big park that's just beyond the hedge.

 

Back home, Molly talked us into walking to Panera for lunch. The girls split mac 'n cheese and grilled cheese, drank milk and ate squeeze-up yogurts on the side. Could this place serve a more dairy-centric kids meal? Ick! They wanted Abbott's on the way home. Um, no. I'd be walking home two little cows.

Then we headed over to the Crossroads Festival for more cousin time. Free pony rides, walk right up. How cool is that!

They did the bounce house, games and a petting zoo, too.

And we left with Molly asking when she can see her cousins again.
