Summer means fountains and fireworks, popsicles and the pool...

Evie showing Molly how her toy works

This weekend Uncle Wally and Aunt Karen brought down cousin Molly for a nice visit. The families had a great time wandering around Old Town, especially in all the cute kids' shops. Evie showed Molly the big fountain by City Hall where we had just been there this morning at the farmer's market, buying fresh corn and peach and blueberry pie, and then her favorite playground down the street. After dinner outside, the sleeping babies laid in their strollers as the family went down to the waterfront to watch the fireworks for Old Town's birthday celebration, which actually were quite impressive.
Sunday got off to a big start when Evie demonstrated the first time she rolled from her back and sat up all by herself! Later that day she even pulled herself up to stand for the first time too!
After some delicious banana-stuffed French toast, made by Daddy the gourmet, the family waved goodbye and safe travels to Wally, Karen and Molly and all settled down for a nice nap.


But we got energized in the afternoon, and decided to head over to Ba and Opa's neighborhood and check out the South Run pool. Evie loved standing and walking through the baby pool - she must have been in there for an hour. She played with her toys and met some new friends at well. By the end of the night, everyone was pooped and went to bed early.
