Mid-April to June

 Abigail's mini-me creation for open house.

 Went to a donkey preserve. Wonder what they are talking about!

Walk-a-thon at school. Abigail ran most of the time and almost did 3 miles. We were really proud of her. Below is her buddy Arianna.

 Face painting from the walk for life. A lion, zebra, and hearts.

 Olivia's going to the grocery store outfit one day. Guess I didn't specify what get dressed and put your shoes on meant.

 

A mother's day celebration at school in the morning, then a production of Aesops Fables in the afternoon. Abigail did such a great job with the songs and her speaking lines!

 Some fun with Uncle Ben.

 Smores fun with Flat Ashley (from cousin Mae) and some early birthday presents for Olivia.

 The party theme was gum, since Olivia was allowed it due to turning 4. Had a playdate with buddies at the park, then Zachary's pizza dinner and a sleepover with our friend Julia.

 Abigail made Olivia a Tangled pinata full of gum and other candy.

 Beach day with the Wilsons in Santa Cruz. Sand crabs a huge hit. Can you tell we don't get chips very often?!

 Olivia's birthday dress from the Sidors.

 Started BBQ Thursdays again. Olivia chose red velvet for the occasion. Caraline loves hanging out with her new buddies!

 

First grade field day at the park.

 What could be better than camping at Tahoe? Had a beautiful Fathers Day weekend near Meeks Bay. Three other families joined the fun, and Caraline got to spend some Nani time! The girls rode bikes and played hard from sunup to sundown.

 First meal made on the new camping stove - BBQ pulled pork.

 More fun at the Bay Area Discovery Museum. Can you guess that Abigail is kelp?

 Where else can you climb trees, ride a chicken, and be Mona Lisa?

 

And then get an amazing photo like this?

 Feeding the cows at Little Farm and then the steam train at Tilden Park. Both were a huge hit! We have had a busy summer so far, but lots of fun and enjoying being all together during the day.
