Fun in the sun

Both girls love to play outside. It is going to be a fun summer of lots of bike riding, playing in the park, and going to the pool. They are both at a good age to enjoy many hours outside.

Brie is getting pretty good at riding her two wheeler. She is starting to figure out how to use the brakes and is getting better at watching where she is going.

Sophie enjoys riding on her tricycle. Her feet don't quite reach the petals and she tries to "steer" which is very helpful when pushing her, but she has a smile on her face the entire time.

A bicycle made for 3!

After months of planning, Marcus's bike finally arrived. It was shipped from Portland in a large crate and took 4 men to get off the truck. It has 2 child seats on it and even a wind shield for the child in front.

I did get a bike as well, but it is no where near as elaborate. We are awaiting the rack for the back to put a child seat on it.

Children's Garden

About twice a month, Mary Ann and I try to get together for a mom's day out with the kids. Since the weather was nice, yesterday we decided to try the Hershey Gardens.

They have a children's garden that was wonderful. There were not to many flowers in bloom and the butterfly house was not open yet, but the kids had a great time.

They enjoyed climbing in the boat, watching the fountain and collecting bugs.

Yogurt anyone

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to < target="_blank" href="her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

So here we go.

This week I certainly would not let Sophie feed herself her yogurt by herself after she got out of the bathtub. That would certainly defeat the purpose of the bath

And I would never allow Brie to wear her froggie boots and march around my kitchen floor only to find dried bits of mud all over my floor.


I would never allow it to stay that way for 2 days before finally sweeping it up and mopping the floor. I mean that would allow for mud to get tracked throughout the house and for me to have to mop everything making more work for myself.

A beautiful day . . .

To get these 4 together

To take some pictures

And to play for a little while

A 2 wheeler already!

When Nanna and Pop bought Brie a 2 wheel bicycle for Christmas we thought it would be about a year before she could actually ride it. When she first received it her feet could barely reach the petals. This weekend she saw it in the basement and wanted to ride it. Grandpa brought it outside and to our surprise her feet reached the petals.

On Saturday we went for a nice long ride to the ice cream store. Brie petaled all the way.

She then waited patiently for her ice cream. The entire time refusing to remove her helmet.

She then devoured her ice cream, refusing to share with anyone.

She then petalled all the way home.

I have a cute video of her riding the bike. As soon as I figure out how to upload it I will post it.
