  • Fishing with friends

    Skylar’s best friend Sydney from pre-school moved to Maryland over the summer.  We went to visit them and do some fishing.  The kids caught alot of fish!

  • Curly Hair

    Mommy and Skylar curled their hair with rubber bands the way people did it way back in time before they had curling irons 🙂

  • Story time

    I recorded the kids telling me their own stories.

     

  • Skylar’s birthday party

    We had a water / dinosaur theme for Skylar’s 5th birthday party.  Her best friend Sydney also had a birthday in July and had recently moved to Annapolis, so they celebrated their birthdays together.

    Parker also had fun – although it can be hard to be a 3 year-old at your older sisters birthday party…

    Check out the pics:

  • May Camping

    We went camping at Burke Lake. It was an interesting place – they had a kids train that ran through the property and must have been over a mile long.

    We went with 3 other families and the kids had a blast. Only problem is that they didn’t go to sleep until around midnight, and then they woke up with the sun. Everyone needed naps the following day!

  • Lexington – camping & parks

    The highlight of camping for the kids was probably the marshmallows and jumping from one pack and play to the other from 8:30 to 9:30. So much for an idyllic setting of sitting still and listening to the crickets and watching the stars. The following day we went to this amazing park that was right next to the house.

    They had a mud pie making area, gold panning stream, narrow winding trails covered with vines like from a fairy tale, and we got to taste some freshly squeezed (as in squeezed right in front of us) apple juice – awesome!

    The theme of the day was “Do they dare go…” from the Berenstein Bears Spooky Old Tree book.

  • Lexington

    Last weekend we went to Lexington for a camping trip. Friday night we stayed at Nana and Poppa D’s. Parker was fascinated by the tractors and the ‘firetruck’. I’m guessing the lights on top of the rollback and the fact that it was red made it a firetruck.

    Horace – sorry if you never find your keys again, Parker is kind of a klepto when it comes to keys…
