Swim Time!

We went to Mom Mom's house and the girls were super excited to go in the pool. Well, Juli was. Livi eventually warmed up to it. They had a blast and can't wait to go back! Juli is becoming quite the waterbug. She wears her lifejacket and zips around the pool. I better find her some swim lessons stat.

Here is Juli by some of Mom Mom's gorgeous gardens.

In the pool. Thanks to Matt for taking all the pool pictures for us.

Looks like Sara was hitching a ride on the Juli train.

Sun bathing beauties.

Livi decided to go for one last dip. The footbath was more her speed.

Giggleberry Fair

We headed up to Penns Purchase Outlets / Peddlers Village today. On a whim we decided to go into Giggleberry Fair. Juli was beside herself with glee when we walked in. She started yelling, "It's like a carnival, Mommy! It's like a carnival inside!!" So we grabbed some lunch and had some fun.

Here is Juli on giant game board. She was playing a music game at the time, but it also did dodge ball and other cool stuff.

Livi thought it was pretty cool too!

They have a fishing area with magnetic fishing poles and little fish and boats. Just as I was about to take Juli's picture her stool slipped out from under her and she fell in. I didn't realize I caught the picture until we got home later! Don't worry it was only a few inches deep.

Let's try that again.

Baaaa!

Livi driving the farm truck.

Playing air hockey. I think Juli liked this game the best.

Next time, little one.

A mini-merry go round.

Wheee?

The Sleepy Swimmer

I know this isn't the best picture, but it is so darn funny. We went to the pool this morning and Livi fell asleep in my arms IN THE POOL! This kid can really literally sleep anywhere! I laid her on the towel to take her picture, then I transferred her to the shade of her stroller, while everyone else finished swimming. We left the pool not long after this because it was just too hot if you weren't in the water!

A Blissful Day of Nothingness

We spent the day splashing around the pool while James golfed. We had plans to go to Margaritaville for dinner with the rest of the gang. When we got there most of the restaurants were closed for a private event. We never did figure out what was going on. We decided to stay at Universal City Walk since it was late the girls were hungry and getting cranky. The NASCAR cafe was open, so we ate there. We had a good time. Juli loved the race cars outside. She is perfecting her Vanna White pose. LOL

Happy Birthday Katie!!

Yesterday we went to Katie's 3rd birthday party. We had a great time! Juli is looking forward to trying out all of Katie's new toys! LOL

The kids had a great time in the pool!

Livi had a good time too. That's her "cheese" face. LOL

There's Katie's cheese face - and Uncle Joe's too in the background!

Livi wearing "gobbles".

Yummy cake!

Oh, just wait 10 years...

Katie, Juli and Kelly

WAIT A MINUTE! Who's that I see??

OH NO! It can't be!!

It's DORA!!! (And Maddie)

Most of the kids were afraid of the "life-size" Dora, Katie & Livi included. Juli seemed to like her and was excited to get her picture taken with Dora. Since the kids were afraid, Dora was beheaded and Karen was exposed until after cake.

Juli and Dora.

Livi would rather just stick to a Dora hat.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!!"

Ok so Livi didn't really say that, but it's what she meant! LOL

Independence Day

For the 4th of July we went down to the campground to visit with Nonna & Pop. The girls had a great time in the lake and the pool. Juli and Katie stayed for the weekend. Can't wait to hear how much fun they had!

The Three Amigos. Katie looks smaller than Livi here, but she had her butt down in the planter!

Pretty Livi.

Katie, Livi and Pop blowing bubbles.

Livi in the lake. She looks like she is crying, but she was really laughing and clapping!

Katie & Juli puttering around the lake. Karen is out there with them, I just didn't get her in the picture.

Livi giving kisses to the fishies.

Splish Splash!

After the lake we went to the pool. Katie was hanging on the rope on the kiddie side of the pool.

Juli in the kiddie side, Katie trying to escape! (Don't worry, Pop and Karen were both right over on that side!)

Livi had a blast swimming around with Pop (and Aunt Karen too).

Katie and Livi hanging out.

Livi looking smushed in her lifejacket.

All that activity was tiring! Livi didn't even make it all the way back from the pool! She fell asleep in the wagon.

A neat picture of the campfire.

Gobbles

Last Sunday, Juli went to Katie's house to swim and play with the kids (Jared and Angie were there too). Denise picked up goggles for the the girls.

Juli had just told me a few days before that that she needed "gobbles." I had no idea what she was talking about, I asked her if she meant turkey, LOL! She got really frustrated and told me "NO MOMMY! When I swim I need gobbles so I can see!!!"

Here's Katie and Juli in their "gobbles."
