Fun With Friends

The past couple days have been some fun with friends. Over the weekend, I got to take a little impomptu visit to see my friends, P and Kristin. I drove the girls to RFK for lunch with Mark, then we switched cars and Mark took them back home while I took off from there to drive to NJ for the night. I got to hang out with P, Kristin, and their little ones (Abigail, Jack, and Avery). We had fun talking, hanging out, and walking up the street for pizza. Abby and Jack were born on the same day, so they have a special little connection already.

I spent the night at P's and we met her parents for breakfast on Saturday morning, then I headed back home to take the girls to Emilia's birthday party while Mark went into DC for the game. The day of the party was one of the hottest we've had (and we've had some hot days), but Emilia's parents were well prepared with lots of cold things to drink, a backyard filled with water activities and plenty of shade to hang out in. Since it was a lollipop party, one of their cool activities was painting wooden lollipops in the front yard.

The kids had a fun time keeping active and cooled off at the same time. Nina played so hard. She was exhausted when we got home, but she had a great time!

They still had plenty of energy to be silly even before getting to dig into the birthday cupcakes.

It was nice having two full days of activities with friends!
