Abby and I took the girls to Santa Cruz for the weekend. We met my mom, Kristi, Alex and Isaac there and stayed in a house in Capitola. Stacy, Madeline and Mike met us there. We were there for the Wharf to Wharf but found out at the last minute that strollers weren't allowed, so Stacy and I didn't do it. Everyone else did though and we still had a blast. I'm ready to move to Santa Cruz! The girls loved the beach.
Since we are having a heat wave, we are trying to keep cool around here. We found a new water park near our house and we plan on visiting daily. Euan and the girls had a blast running around in the water today. Here are some pictures and video for you to check out.
We were able to get a night away. We stayed at the Hyatt and went out to a great dinner, watched a movie, and got a full nights sleep!!! It was so nice. Thank you to Christina, our fabulous babysitter. She's been watching the girls while I worked since December. She said the girls were great...why are they always good for babysitters? She is off to San Francisco to college next month. We are all going to miss her.
Who knew the Redding Mall had a toddler play area? Fiona doesn't look like she's having fun, but really she just wasn't happy about stopping play to pose for this picture.
A little fun in the pool...
Fieldbrook School got a great new toddler park.
Becky came to visit today. She came bearing gifts too. Janie and Jack dresses that the girls refused to take off after we tried them on over their clothes. So cute! We went to the Arden Fair Mall in search of an indoor toddler play area, but they don't have one. What a crappy mall! We had to settle for the carousel. Of course, I couldn't find my camera until after Becky left, and I can't figure out how to get the pics from my phone to the computer. When we got home dad had brought home balloons from TJ's. The girls also got fancy new hats from Whole Paycheck (I mean Foods), and wore them in the pool for a dip with Dad. It's like Christmas in July!
It has been hot in Sacramento and The Fountains in Roseville is a great place for the babies to cool off. Here is a video of them in the baby fountains.
I'm back from Rhode Island! My first overnight away from the babies! Auntie Kristi and Ikey came and stayed with Euan and the girls for 4 days! She said it went great, and the girls were "easy". Obviously she wasn't supposed to say that they were easy, but hey she said she would do it every year so I'll take easy. They napped for 2 1/2 to 3 hours a day! What?!?!? They never do that for me. Oh well. I didn't get a picture of them so had to go back and find an old one. This one is from Mexico. I'm glad the girls got a chance to get to know their auntie. Thank you Kristi!
Here are 4J4's on Prudence Island (off of Rhode Island)
The girls are 15 1/2 months old! Here they are doing a little coloring today. They still eat the crayons a little bit but do some coloring too.
Yesterday we went to an indoor toddler playground with Melanie, Steve, Lucas and James. They had so much fun!
Isla insists on carrying her blanket outside and it gets burrs and all kinds of things stuck to it, so I've started tying it around her neck. She looks like a little old lady.
They have been climbing up on everything!
Another J4, Babsy Glass (AKA Nancy) came to visit all the way from San Francisco a few weeks ago. So great to see her!! Wish we saw her more especially since she is heading back to DC soon. Thanks again Nancy!
Fiona loves to help unload the groceries. Isla and a rooster in Fair Oaks
