Abigail and Evie had a lemonade stand - Evie earned $3.25! Looks like we have some entrepreneurs in the making...
While Daddy is off to Telluride, the girls and Mommy have been enjoying the last week of summer before school starts with some final trips to Great Waves, spray parks and playgrounds. Here the girls show off their expert surfing stances and sassy looks at Great Waves, after an hour in the wave pool and at least 30 trips down the curvy water slide. Ellie was so proud that she could go by herself.
We also had a great time at the Oliver's annual luau - the weather was beautiful! Evie and Ellie mastered the rock climbing wall and loved zooming down the slide.
On Thursday, Evie got to meet her new first grade teacher Mrs. Bates and see her new classroom. It looks like Mrs. Bates is a Mo Willems fan as we saw Pigeon, Piggy and Elephant all around the class. Several of her friends will be in her class - she is excited to start the year!
On Saturday we headed downtown to check out our annual favorite, the National Festival of the Book. After passing by Captain Underpants, the next stop was the PBS Kids area, where the kids were delighted to meet Cat in the Hat for the third time.
And then Ellie actually got out of her stroller to put on a smile to meet one of her favorites, "Georgie"!
Meanwhile, Evie takes Sid's Science Challenge and sniffs away to see which scents she could identify.
The next day we left at the crack of dawn with Ba and Opa for an adventure at Rehoboth Beach. What a delightful day we had for enjoying the surf and sand. Ellie was particularly happy enjoying her pirate's booty with Ba.
After some arcade games and skeeball (where thankfully no machines were broken), Ellie took a ride in a little frog.
Then it was off to Funland for some carnival delights! Ellie gets ready to take off in her rocket ship - she insisted on being in the front seat despite Evie's insistence that she should be sitting in the back; as you can tell from Evie's expression, she's none too pleased but our littlest is no pushover.
Two lovely ladies rocking in their hot rod! What a great way to end the summer!
