Kicking off summer with some splashes!


Summer has officially arrived to DC, with 90-degree weather on its heels.  We headed to one of the spraygrounds in Arlington to escape the heat on Saturday afternoon.  Evie was a big fan of splashing in the puddles in her red bikini.  

This was Ellie's first trip to a spray park, and she was unusually cautious at first.  She did dip into the water eventually though... 

...as evidenced by her big smile here! 

Evie screams in delight as she runs around.  Spray parks are old hat for her.


The next day was Ellie's real birthday. We opened a couple of gifts at our place - she seems particularly pleased with Evie's choice - a Little Peoples toy for the bath.

Then it was off to Ba and Opa's for another celebration. First we spent an hour at the pool, where Ellie wanted to roam the baby pool on her own (she only went under five times or so, but that didn't deter her from running away from Mommy and Daddy). 

True to form, Ellie takes a break from opening presents to climb up on top of the gift boxes. She has a serious expression as usual - hey climbing takes concentration!

 Evie digs in. 


Ellie demands that she feeds herself her ice cream cake.  Anything for you, birthday girl. We love you, Ellie!
