This and that

Since it's been over a month since our last post here's a little of this and a little of that. Enjoy.

Fourth of July Weekend

Abby and Chris had a lovely time at Kings Island on the 4th. It was a little warm, but they had a great time. Abby loved the rides and was even able to go on some by herself for the first time.







We spent the rest of the Fourth hanging out with our wonderful neighbors or our "outside friends" as Abby calls them. Abby loved the sparklers and fireworks!

Trucks

West Chester had an event last week that gave kids the opportunity to crawl all over the community's fire trucks, police cruisers, military vehicles, etc. Abby had a great time despite the blazing hot weather. She even got to use a fire hose with a little help.

Visit

Erik, Robyn and Elliot stopped by for a visit with the Bells' and Carters' last week. We had such a great time! Here's a few shots of the next generation having some fun!

The party's over when the toy basket is empty. Abby had Lily check, just to be sure.

Princess Party and a Few Tricks from Sam

On a recent play date with Caroline, the girls requested a Princess Party. Not knowing exactly what this entailed, we figured out it meant putting on some fancy dresses, adorning some accessories and then having a crazy dance party.

Sam is now sitting on his own. I especially like the second pose where he is drooling and looks quite a bit like a gorilla.

Free Sam! The little guy taking a few peeks from his crib...
