The perfect start to a Memorial Day weekend. A Friday night picnic at Grandma's Beach.
It's still a little cool - but not enough to keep us out of the water.
Lela's favorite thing - the swings. She can pump herself now. Mama's arms are sooo glad.
Lela and Lian's favorite person - Aunt Christy. When she's around, we're chopped liver.
Dig we must. Sitting on your heels must be genetic because they both do it - and they certainly haven't ever seen me do it.
As the sun sinks slowly in the west, the bugs come out and we head home to bed to rest up for an action packed weekend.
Saturday afternoon. Our neighbor's twin girls turned 3. They went all out with a petting zoo and pony ride. Since their lot is as tiny as ours (40 x 100) the pony ride went down another neighbor's driveway as the petting zoo was occupying theirs. Lela loves pony rides - I foresee horse madness in her future. I was horse crazy too - except I grew up where you didn't have to be a millionaire to keep a horse. This was event # 2 - we went on a class outing with Lela's Chinese school to NYC in the morning, but I failed to take any pictures.
Lian, on the other hand, is not too sure about ponies. Sitting on the back of some big animal is a bit too much.
Feeding animals - now this is more like it. Our house is just past the hedge in the back.
Lela favors the goats and sheep, maybe because she was born in the year of the Lamb.
Event # 3 - we went to see the fireworks that night which are at the beach. But the noise was too much for the girls so we actually saw them parked in the driveway of the town's Solid Waste facility farther down the road. Lela decreed it, "the best spot."
