The last days of summer...

The girls and mommy have been having some special girls bonding time while Daddy has been away at the film festival.  We have been trying to make the most of our last days of summer before school is upon us...a water park with Ba and Opa, pool time with the neighborhood kids, birthday parties for Evie's friends, and of course, some chilling in the backyard. Here is how we play T-ball in our neighborhood, according to Ellie.  It's nice to rest the feet while taking a swing. 

Meanwhile Evie is building a beautiful home for fairies in our backyard, including a sand pathway, some leaves for hammocks, and some parsley and basil inside just in case the fairies want to make a meal.

On Monday before school started, we were joined by Ba and Opa and traveled downtown to the National Building Museum to play a round of mini golf (to tackle the 9 holes we never got to during the time we went earlier this summer).  The course was full of new challenges to conquer. 

  

 

Evie proudly stands near the hole with the ferris wheel that she got the hole-in-one!

 

Ellie really got into the game but refused to allow anyone to help her. She especially liked a hole that had a big clear ramp that she attempted to climb up and kept sliding down. 

Here's the Thomas Jefferson Memorial made out of cans!  Magnifique!
