Gran and Da


I worked this past weekend, so we headed down to Gran and Da's for a visit.  The girls had a great time....swimming, climbing trees, and visiting....so fun!

It was a beautiful weekend so the girls spent a ton of time outside.  We were in the pool a lot as it is probably the last time we will swim there this summer.


Learning to climb a tree was also a big hit!  It was so sweet to see them up there, as I think I have seen every one of my nieces and nephews up in that tree as some point.

When not in the tree, the girls and Gran spent a lot of time outside exploring in her yard.

One of the highlights of the weekend was a visit from a few of my aunts (Aunt Christine was missing).  It had been 2 years since I had seen them, so it was a treat to spend a little time catching up.  The girls had a great time showing off for them, and Clara loved that they were her "great" aunts!

Bookworm

I went into the girls' rooms late last night to check on them before I went to bed.  As I walked up to Clara's room, I saw a light on from behind the closed door.  I walked in and saw this...



Sweet girl had fallen asleep mid-book...what a little bookworm!
