Side note: she is saying things like this on her own a lot more lately. Of course it makes me sigh and smile every time. She's really learning to be responsive, respectful, and loving. What a grace to see her mature!
We came to the beach today! We spent only about 30 minutes at the water this afternoon because the wind was too fierce, and Vivian was rolling in the sand...this is what she looked like after 30 seconds: covered head to toe. We are going to have a fun week :)
Today at their music class, the teacher had them sit on a tape line...they sat so attentively and listened so well, it made me smile at the thought of future school days!
Yesterday afternoon Gramme watched the girls and Aaron and I went to see the Salem Red Sox play. It was a slow, enjoyable few hours with the hubby. Everyone should go at least once this season!
Last Thursday Sierra and I took the girls to Splash Valley, which is a water park at Green Ridge Recreation Center. I highly recommend it to everyone in the area! They have lots of rules, but the fun that they had made it worth the few hassles. For the first hour, Vivian was hesitant to get on the slides or run through the sprinklers, but after lunch she was all over the place and did everything. She had a blast. Kate had fun, too, the toddler way...just playing in the shallow water and jumping off the side. She took a decent nap in my arms while Vivian played with Sierra...a perfect summer day!
The girls were very excited about eating peanut butter and jelly for lunch today...wow!!
If you're confused about what their saying...it's just "peanut butter, jelly!" over and over. And if the camera was shaking too much, it was because I was genuinely laughing at them and couldn't hold steady.
One more note: yes, we were still in our pajamas at lunchtime. Gotta love these kinds of days!
Am I the only one who is sad that the Salem Fair is over?!
Uncle Stephen thankfully went with us. I have lots of pictures, but I will share them (in an album probably) later. I hope everyone else had as much fun as we (or I, maybe I shouldn't speak for Aaron and Stephen) did!
