Boots

The day after she got boots from Grandma Weez and Papa D, it rained!  Perfect!

Great boots, Gertie!

Singin' in the rain

2015 Farm Trip - Day 1

We left a day early for our trip to Virginia.  We decided to drive halfway, have some fun, and then "sleep in" (in a hotel room altogether) and drive the rest of the way.  The first hour was terrible and no we were not there yet.  Things got better.  We stopped in a flooded Jackson, OH for lunch and took Wendy's to an underwater park.  We got to the hotel in the late afternoon and headed to the pool.  I thought Brooklyn was going to be my water baby, but when I grabbed her and jumped in the indoor pool that was FREEZING she lost her mind and wouldn't leave the comfort of her mother's arms after that.  Mae wasn't much better.  Anna was freaked out too, but she at least let me take her around the pool.  We grabbed dinner at Cracker Barrel and then it was time to get tired, but wired girls to sleep.  Judging the entire day as a whole - success!

Ready to go! ("Just remember, we won't be at the farm TODAY"

Lunch in the swamplands of Jackson

Pretty girls

Lovin' it

Scenic Jackson

In Beckley, WV for the night - Mae is always helpful and is it just me or is Anna too cool for everyone?

 

Brooklyn loves dinnertime!

Time for sleep

Another Mild 4th of July Parade

For the 2nd year in a row, the weather was nice and cool for the 4th of July Parade.  There was a scare of rain, but all was well. 

One side of me...

...and the other side of me.

"I looked out the window and what did I see..."  Candy!

There was a chance of rain

I want to say the loud trucks have begun

Brooklyn loves it

Parade or horror movie?

Post-parade popsicles

Things are about to get messy

What a cute momma

Feeling the pinks and reds I suppose

The day after - still feeling patriotic?  Or something.

Rain Drama

Mae wanted a raincoat to go play with her friends out in the rain.  Off she went.  Anna wanted the same thing.  Off she went.  We had no similar jacket for Brooklyn, but we sent her out there anyway.  Brooklyn loves water.  But when it started to pour cats and dogs, Mae didn't quite grasp that...

Having an overprotective big sister isn't the worst thing in the world now is it? =) 

Festival of Lights

After a year off because Lindsey was large with child, we headed back to the Festival of Lights.  Grandma Weez sat this one out to rest her knee so on a misty, cool day, we headed to the Zoo with Papa D.  It didn't disappoint. -T

Lovin' the lake

Our walkoff shot

Sometimes I still can't believe we actually of three 3 and under

These were just some random shots of our girls. -T

This is yet another picture of Brooklyn that doesn't look like Brooklyn

It seems as if she doesn't look like either of her sisters - who don't look anything alike either

Cute little Brooklyn

Pink in puddles
