Lake Caroline
We had a blast out on Will's Dad's (Pepaw's) pontoon boat today. The Webbs and Ellises came with us. The kids are fearless. They've been unjoying the summer on the boat and had a blast with Mary Brieten and Zan. Even Jean Elaine, Noel and I got in on the action. Jean Elaine showed off some stellar standing moves until Pepaw threw her off. What a fun day!
Will and I took Sara Kennedy and Cooper to New Orleans this past weekend (thanks Memaw & Pepaw for keeping Harper)! We went to the Aquarium, Cooper loved the sharks and SK loved touching a stingray. We went to the Louisiana Children's Museum where the kids got to shop in a kid sized grocery store (complete with real cash registers) and load cargo onto a kid sized barge. We walked around Jackson Square and ate at Cafe du Monde, swam in the rooftop pool at the hotel, went to the Insectarium (Cooper ate a chocolate covered worm & SK ate a chocolate chip cookie with crickets on top) and took the St. Charles trolley (my favorite part) down St. Charles and got to admire all of the old architecture and see some really pretty homes. It was too hot for the zoo and it started raining and we didn't get to ride the ferry. We'll have to plan another trip soon!
On our way to Will's parent's house for their awesome 4th cookout. I snapped these pictures before we left and didn't get a single picture while we were at the cookout. I have to do better about actually taking pictures when we get to where we're going!
Sara Kennedy and Cooper just finished swim lessons with Mrs. Debra. This was Sara Kennedy's last year to take~ she "graduated." Makes me sad~ she's been going to swim lessons since she was 2. She is a great little swimmer. Cooper learned how to jump off the diving board and is swimming all over the pool. Lots of swimming in our future this summer!
Some of Sara Kennedy's classmates were able to go skating today. We had so much fun UNTIL poor Toni fell and broke her leg in 2 places :( She was such a tropper!

CA had Grandparent's Day. Nana and Memaw were able to go (Pepaw was out of town for work). Sara Kennedy had so much fun and made them the cutest pictures and wrote her favorite things to do with them. Baby Harper was so sweet during the program and Sara Kennedy LOVED showing her off to her class.
Harper had her first cereal. She wasn't quite sure what to think about it. I think we got more on her face than in her tummy.
