Well... summer is officially over, but this past weekend was anything but. It was in the mid-80's and sunny ALL weekend. A perfect weekend to spend some time outdoors.
A great weekend, once again. Let's hope we continue to have beautiful weekends that allow us to spend lots of time outdoors, before the winter weather takes hold!
On Saturday, we knew Auntie Molly was coming back to spend her final night with us in MN. What we weren't anticipating was Grandma and Jon bringing Molly back and spending Saturday with us. What a great surprise!
While Molly was off with a friend of hers, grandma and Jon spent the day with us. I was on a cleaning spree and grandmas extra hands helped me get some extra stuff done... like all of Nece's fall clothes out and washed! Daddy was getting caught up on outdoor work! Thanks grandma.
Saturday night we did one of Nece's favorite things... went to the Mall and went on rides for a couple hours! As expected, she had a blast. Franny did okay, but was a tad crabby... those darn teeth! It's amazing how long it takes for those suckers to actually pop through the gums... one of these days!
On Sunday, Molly and I took the girls to a park that I'd been wanting to visit for quite some time... I'd heard that it was geared towards kids 6 and under! What a great surprise when we showed up and it was more than I could have ever expected! Heres a view of the park from the top of a play structure for the 'older kids'.
Every day as Franny gets better at walking (or should I say running and trying to keep up with her sister), she becomes more adventurous. This kid has NO fear and wants to do everything the big kids are doing. So, it was no surprise as she hopped right in and got onto the play structures. We did keep her to the more 1 year old friendly structures and she had a ball.
And Nece... she absolutely loves all parks. This one was no exception. The unique thing about this place is that it's completely fenced in and built into the bluffs. There are places for kids to climb the rocks, play in the sand, hang out at the pavilion area or play on the structures. Definitely a place for one adult per child.
And before heading to lunch at our (ummm, Nece's favorite) McDonalds... we walked down to the river!
A great weekend, once again. Let's hope we continue to have beautiful weekends that allow us to spend lots of time outdoors, before the winter weather takes hold!
