I love these girls!

Annabelle has had two weeks of camp in a row, which leaves Piper and I to fill our mornings!

We went to the Science Center last week-  Piper loved it!

Throwing coal in the furnace...

Making her obligatory funny face!

"Diving" the combine tractor

Since it's 105 degrees outside, we now take bubble baths in the baby pool!

Sometimes they are just too sweet to not take pictures of!

Breakfast

We rode bikes to Piper's new school playground, then onto the next playground on DeMun for Water Ice!  DELISH!

Annabelle had a sleepover at Layla's last night, so Piper and I went on a date!  Dinner and the Disney Store!  The sweet girl doesn't even ask to leave with a present!  

Annabelle has booked Adam and I for dinner alone next time Adam is available!  We are looking forward to it!

Piper dancing to the Styx record!

She turns in on her moves a few minutes in!

A Whole Bunch of Pictures!

Annabelle and her old friend, Adela have been reunited!  

They've had a blast together and they are very similar creatures!

Fourth of July Fun:

Getting their bikes ready for the big parade!

They washed and decorated them.

Layla joined us for the 4th, then her whole family came over for a big BBQ with a bunch of new friends from the neighborhood!  Good times!

Bike Parade getting under way

Out of order, but July 5th, everyone was a little tired and a lot cranky....

cheered them up with an outdoor bubble bath!

Back to the 4th:

The Clayton Fire Department came and turned on the sprinkler!

So much fun for almost everyone!

Girls and I met Adela and co. at City Garden, never disappoints....

..especially when they have BUBBLES!

Sweet Sisters at the Park

All Star Break

We headed North for a wonderful getaway to Adam's Family's Cabin...

Started hour one with a trip to the ER for staples in Piper's head...

NO MORE MONKEY'S JUMPING ON THE BED.

She was thrilled with the popsicle!

Annabelle from out the window

Going Kayaking.

The lake looked like glass

Wanting to go Kayaking...but a bit too small!

Adam and Annabelle

...Piper....

Utterly disappointed she could not Kayak alone

Adam taking a Northern Shower....

Bonfire Bliss!

A Man and his Mom

A Girl and her Grandmpa

The Annual Antler's Trip

A bizarre restaurant with animals EVERYWHERE....

Every hour sirens and lights go off... we always just thought it was for kicks, but came to find out that during the prohibition, they were drinking it up down in the basement...whenever law enforcement would enter, they would sound the alarms for those in the basement.  Police thought it was quite a warm welcome..... little did they know..!

Picture from out the window so it's not very good, but that's Piper sitting on Chris's lap... 

Piper:  "He's like my dad but not the black one".

Referring to his beard.....

I KNOW....!!!

Annabelle and her second cousin JoJo

They got along famously!

I am also happy to report that Piper's staples were successfully removed today.  She was thrilled about it...especially the stickers and candy.... so far I don't see many reasons medical professionals give to children to NOT jump on beds....!  ha
