Friendly Farm

This year we made it a mission to get back to the Friendly Farm for our sixth visit after skipping last year.

The girls had a great time, but no one had as much fun as SlimJim who may have decided he wants to be a goat.

To NH!

This weekend we are in NH enjoying the pool for the first time this year. Gram and Grumpy were nice enough to heat it up close to bath water so we could all enjoy swimming from the early morning to the late evening.

While the pool was fantastic, we also napped, played in the baby pool, went to Crazy Kids, brushed the kitty's teeth, had yummy snacks, tried out the motorcycle, snuggled, looked out the window and played the marimba.

Dance Recitals

This was the week of recitals. MiniM.E. had her recital with the DanceLab on Saturday. It was a huge production with a costumes, make up, a dress rehearsal and enough acts to have two separate events. With all our littles running around and the timing of the recital, we were fortunate that Gram was able to come and help by taking her to the dress rehearsal and to the recital early.

We had to sit way far back in the auditorium, so no photos of the dance, but hopefully we will be getting a video soon!

LittleL.G.'s recital at the Malta Community Center, where both girls started dancing, was much more low key and photo-friendly. Since both girls have wanted us to sit in the front row, we always get there at least an hour early to stand in line for seats, which gave us plenty of time to play outside while Gram helped again by holding our place in line.

LittleL.G. was so cute with her best dance friend.

Baby4 wasn't sure what to make of it all, but SlimJim was thrilled to sit with the big kids up front.

 She was adorable, as always.

Both girls have decided to dance again in the fall. LittleL.G. will try the DanceLab too!
