We were both so excited to be here for an entire week! We started in right away & filled every day with lots of fun…from morning until bedtime! We climbed trees at the lake, made chalk drawings on the sidewalk, had a tea party, played in the hose, wrestled & played in the pool (well, Danny did that—not me), read a ton of books, painted rocks then hid them around the lake, had a bath bomb everynight, played games, & the good times continued right up until we left for the airport to come back home!

I love love love waking up in the mornings & hearing little running feet, then a knock at the door…& then the day begins with these two sweeties!

They each got new hair brushes & are practicing how to use them!

We love this little market/restaurant just a few blocks away from their house…& Claire loves their ice cream sandwiches!

One very happy Gki!
What a great time we had with these two! Summer is the best with no school to interfere with all of our play time. They are growing up & changing so fast….I know we miss a lot, but I’m so grateful for every moment we can spend with them!
