Cape May

Thursday we went to Cape May, NJ for a spur of the moment, 2 day, vacation.
Elli enjoyed her view of the water.

Thankfully, Viv still loves the beach and sand.

Next year we hope they will be playing together.

The last day we meet up with friends on the beach.

More Hot Weather Fun

Running through the sprinkler kept Viv cool last weekend.
She convinced her Daddy to join her.

Happy 3 Month Birthday Elli!

One of Elli's new tricks. She actually fully turned over once last weekend.
Here she is.

We love you sweetie!

Keeping Cool In The Heat

We spent some time last weekend at a new pool. Lots of cool water.

Viv's been putting her face in the water.

She really loves the pool.

Elli prefers the shade.

Quakertown

Saturday we went to Quakertown to visit friends.

Viv had fun in the pool.

She had plenty of balls to play with as well.

Viv and Ivy.

Elli enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Our friends need to buy some new umbrellas.

Love those eyes.

Happy Belated Fourth of July!

Lunch at Parc

Elli continues her exploration of the Philadelphia restaurant scene... here, having lunch with Susan at Parc.

Zoo Day

Last weekend we went to the Zoo again. Viv tried many new things. Forgive the blurry photo (wrong camera again) but I had to show you the butterfly Viv selected for her carousel ride.
Viv asked to go on the horse.

Jeff said the horse was much more comfortable than the camel.

We also went on the Swan ride for the first time.

It was hot work.

Again, a blurry shot, but look at the leopard Viv chose! She chose it by name.

4th of July Kickoff

Last Saturday Philadelphia kicked off its Welcome America week long celebration culminating in the big Fourth of July festivities. This year our friends David and Whitney invited us to picnic with them at Penn Treaty Park. The park was a great location to view the fireworks over the Ben Franklin Bridge. Viv had a great time playing with Dave and Whitney's daughter, Maddie.

Waiving the flag.

Whitney and Charlie. Charlie and Elli are buds.

The girls thought the glow sticks were awesome. No pictures of the fireworks... we had the wrong camera with us - but they were great!

After school play

Viv likes to push her baby stroller around the sidewalk. She prefers to push her ball in the stroller and not her baby doll...
Her neighborhood buddy Leo.
