Emma continued her birthday celebration for a second straight day with lunch at the American Girl Bistro. We did some shopping, ate some popcorn and took Olivia to Build-A-Bear. The girls can’t pass these photo opportunities up when they see them...

We squeezed in one last trip to the pool. I think we’re all happy to be home after a super long week of camping. Any time Olivia would get near the “hot tub” with her mermaids she would have a crowd of kids gathered around her. Keeping track of

We had a long day at the campground. Coloring contest (that they didn’t win 😔). Playground. Petting zoo. Swimming. Jumping. Catching lightning bugs. S’mores. Whew!

We’re spending the week at my favorite Minnesota campground. We had an hour drive to get there. The girls rode in the backseat. Their dolls Ella and Marabelle rode shotgun. We didn’t waste any time getting to the pool. Followed by dinner with friends and catching lightning bugs.
