We celebrated the beginning of summer with a picnic at a local splash park
Wilson Farm's old fashioned orange soda gave Caroline an old-fashioned orange mustache
We set up the sprinkler in the backyard and the girls loved it
The Southwick Zoo came highly recommended and it was worth the trip. Despite the heat, the big animals were all out, even our little monkey Erin
The petting zoo had lots of miniature goats that the kids could run around with...
... of course being goats they nibbled on shoes, clothes, and ears
Erin had a blast
For the 4th of July we flew down to Aunt Katy's for a long and relaxing weekend. At first little Charlie didn't know what to make of the invaders of his playspace
Lyla & Caroline played well together and even slept in the same room. Here they helped harvest the last of Katy's carrots
Daddy's "secret" treat: Doritos right out of the bag. This year all the girls got in on the crunching.
We visited Aunt Claire and Uncle Peter's new house and played with Sabrina & Brooke
After a great day swimming at the lake and feasting on Uncle Peter's gourmet meals the girls were completely wiped out for the ride home
Erin checks out the real live chickens and tries to get one of them to say "akadoo"
Why use the door when the window is much more fun?
Not to be missed was the evening cow feedingCaroline sings Willaby-Wallaby
Erin shows her dancing moves
