party day!

Emma has been super excited for months about her birthday party. It took a ton of work, but Saturday was the day! I forgot to take pictures of everything, so I only have a couple.

our little swimmer

I can't believe just a couple weeks ago Emma wouldn't get her face wet…

happy birthday!

Can't believe Emma is 4 today!

midsummer fair

Tonight we checked out the fair they do during Leprechaun Days. It's only a mile from our house and this is the first time we've ever been.

yum

Grits… it's what's for breakfast.

blarney stone hunt

This week our town is having the annual community festival – Leprechaun Days. There are activities going on all week. This afternoon was the Blarney Stone hunt. Emma and Olivia collected coins and rocks to exchange for real money. Everything was worth a nickel except gold rocks, which were worth $1.

park #6

Summer seems to be quickly going by. On my quest to try every park we finally made it to #6 on the list. Only 13 more to go. We better get busy! After the park it was time for the pool.

children's museum

It was a rainy morning, so we headed to the children’s museum… along with the rest of Minnesota.

jump!

She was so happy it was finally a pool day!

hotdog champion

I think we may be raising a future hotdog eating contest champion! Olivia decided it was a good idea to dip her chips in her lemonade at lunch today. She also only ate the half of the hotdog I didn’t cut.
