Memorial Day Weekend in PA

We visited dear friends over the weekend and the two 3-year olds and four 40-somethings had a blast playing in the house, visiting an exotic animal rescue site, and sharing loads of laughs and yummy food. I had so much fun that I didn't take enough photos!
Getting ready to leave the house and begin the 7 hour car ride...
A couple of tree huggers...
The sounds of the real roaring lions were just a little louder than these two....
Beatrice fed a herd of deer from her hands. The first time she's really touched a wild animal.
In the beautiful garden.

The Day After

At 5:29 a.m., there was a little body next to my bed whispering "Are my toys waiting for me downstairs????" See, the only way we got her away from the toys and to bed last night is by letting her sleep holding her new (big, hardcover) book and by saying "your toys will be waiting for you in the morning." Good memory Beatrice! yawn........
We had to have her new CD playing background music, and then she charged right back where she left off at 7:30 last night.
Sula thought it was a bit early to play dress-up the magnetic dolls,
or karaoke.
B. didn't get within an inch of this tiara/crown yesterday, but this morning she decided she "needed it" and it was on her head for hours.
She insisted her new bunnies be photographed.
Her explanation of this pose: The mama is kissing her baby.
Even princesses and queens have to stop and eat once in a while.
She is always so sad that Sula can't attend the grand events of our life.
She realized some of the fish from the fish game still had goodies attached to them!
Leaving for church...B: "Bye Sula Goose! I will miss you so much!"
Sula: Oh Thank God she's leaving, I can finally get some rest!

After NOT taking a nap, she spent the afternoon back at 'em!
Then it was Skyping with Rachel, which she was so excited about, and all but falling asleep in her dinner, which I should have photographed but it would have been just too cruel. Tomorrow is a big dose of back to reality with her 3-year old physical, which I think will include not only shots but a blood draw since they have to do all the pre-preschool stuff. Then Lolo & Lola arrive for the week for more celebrating!
