Tenting in the backyard

We set up the tent in the backyard and had story time and singalongs with everyone in the tent. Anna and Luisa came over from next door to join in the fun
What beautiful girls!
What funny looking girls!

More tummy Time

My job as a stay-at-home Mom is so tough... All in a days work :) By the way, my other charge is sitting just outside of this picture in her princess dress, all ready for what she calls the "royal ball" - she requested not to be pictured here.

County Fair

Nothing like a trip to the county fair! The rides are fun and a little scary, the people watching can't be beat, but there was no demo derby at this one - oh well, Dad just got rid of the Camry, so we didn't have a vehicle to enter anyway! PS. note Emma's pink cowboy boots - what a great Fair outfit!
We girls rode the Farris Wheel. Claire slept (she is in a front carryer on me) until we reached the tippy top, and then she woke up with a vengence, which I am sure made the ride pleasurable for the other folks in our gondola!

Football season!

Dad and son watching the football game - smile - the Panthers won!

Real Equestrian

One step closer to a real equestrian from the last post of Emma on the carousel. The folks leading her own the pony.

Wheeeeee!

Go, Daddy, Go!

Emma completes her first duathalon at the age of three (okay, so technically, she only road along for the last leg of the run!)

Swingin'

Good thing there was room for three on our swingset!

Happy Labor Day

We hiked to Hanging Rock on Labor Day. We cooked hot dogs, roasted marshmallows, and soaked our feet in the cold creek water. Emma and Leigh went swimming in the nearby lake. Emma did a great job hiking by herself!
Boy, hikes sure are exhausting. Nap anyone?

Let's go fly a kite

We went to fly a kite at the park this weekend.
