Mallard Summer Camp - Day Fifty-one

Just a few more days till Evelyn's birthday and we went and got her the bike she wanted.  Will she finally learn to ride a bike?  We hope this cool new looking set of wheels will help her out.

Today we went to the Children's Museum.  It was free for all library card holders.  The kids had a great time.  Although Darcy wished there were more snacks.

Evelyn said the cat had a broken ankle and needed a cast.

They both said: "we're playing like you daddy." As they checked out of the grocery store.

Somewhere under the rainbow...

Back-to-School Shopping

JCP was offering associates an extra 10 percent discount today so Blake and I took advantage of that and bought the girls a few things for when they start school next month. They were quite excited about their new clothes and did a little fashion show for me when we got home. Here is a peek at one if the items they each got.

(I hope they always love each other this much!)

Mallard Summer Camp - Day Forty-seven

We intended to go to Weeki Wachee as a big family trip.  The girls were soooo excited to see "real live mermaids".  But then the rains rolled in and the park said the mermaids were closed for maintenance. 

So we headed to Chucky Cheese instead!   The girls had a great time.

Honestly I don't care where we are, as long as I get to spend the days with my special ladies.

Pool Day! 

We've been to the pool many times this summer.  And the girls have had many hours at Grammy's pool when they stay over there.  But this is the first time I've brought the camera.

The water slide is, of course, the best part for the girls.

Evie's turn!

Both girls climbed up the stairs many many times.  They were so pooped that they didn't even want snacks when they got home!

Where's Waldo?!

Mallard Summer Camp - Day Forty-four

The girls were very eager to see the minion movie today.  They giggled when they saw their naked butts on the poster.

I got them a blue icee and a blue lollipop so after the movie they looked like this: 

Mallard Summer Camp - Day Thirty-seven

Today we went to Common Ground Park (a favorite of the girls).  

We were so hot and sweaty that we wanted to come back and get in the pool.  But it started to rain so they took a shower instead.

Mallard Summer Camp - Day Thirty-six

After the Fourth of July trip, both girls were feeling sick.  A few days of bed rest later and they felt much better.

Today we went bike shopping for evie's birthday.  Here's the one she likes:

Notice her helmet.

We also did a cooking day.  We made a peach cobbler for Grammy and a pizza for mommy.  

We also did some decorating in the girls' rooms.
