2 Years, 11 Months, and 1 Week

Ruby & Charlotte are 2 years, 11 months, and 1 week old today. We had a visit from Grandma Doreen, Grandpa Bob, and Uncle Connor last week. Enjoy the many, many photos!

At the zoo with Grandma Doreen, Uncle Connor, & Grandpa Bob:

On the carousel with Grandma Doreen:

Peering over a wall to see an animal:

Uncle Connor pulled them in the wagon:

We went to a water park called Otter Cove, and they were a bit timid in the pool when we got there:

Charlotte figured out how to make hand & foot prints with water, then watched them disappear:

They splashed Grandma Doreen:

I then decided to take them out into the 2ft deep part of the toddler pool (yes, I am aware that the majority of my skin had not seen the sun in roughly 9 years, and am now paying for it with a terrible sunburn):


And they realized that they love "swimming":


Last Saturday, after our original plans were thwarted (but will be done next weekend), we decided on a spontaneous trip to Wild West Town instead:


Jumping in puddles was the most exciting part of our visit there:

We watched a Charlie Chaplin movie in the silent theater:

Ruby had fun at the Kids Korral playground:

In the end, they made small hills out of the pebbles & dirt:

Ruby's wall building is becoming more intricate:

Charlotte loves these wooden horses from their castle play set:

On a walk, playing in the rock patch (Uncle Trevor thinks that they will be geologists):

Ruby shows off her dandelion:

Next to pumpkin and corn fields at the neighboring farm:

Getting haircuts before pre-preschool starts:


They both chose to sit on Clifford, the Big Red Dog.
After Ruby's trim (not much of a change, only an inch was cut off):

After Charlotte's haircut, a much more apparent change:

What a cute hair cut for Charlotte. My girls never had hair so straight.

Gosh, the girls are getting big -- almost three.
