As promised....here is what we were up to the rest of the summer..

ice cream!! and lots of it! we were frequently found around town taking in some yummy coldness! or making and eating our own! this is Audrey's first ice cream cone. i don't think she really knew what to do with it. we really don't get cones very often since is is much less messy to get the girls cups.

hmmm...not sure that the bib helped! the heat didn't either!

mmmm...

the creek at the family reunion was a big hit. the girls had pink barbie nets to try and catch the minnows!

playing nicely...for a minute...this was right before ellis threw a rock and hit audrey in the head =(

playing play-doh with some of the cousins.

ellis and abbey trying to figure out how to play ping pong...well really abbey telling ellis how!!

the girls quickly made friends with the cousins who had all the snacks...they made a beeline for them every chance they got!

oma and papa came down the other night for mommy's birthday and ellis was still awake when we came home. papa just had to put her to sleep! they are so cute. we were up at their house this past weekend and papa was playing with them in their room. all i heard was ellis bossing papa around and telling him how to play and the three of them laughing! priceless!
