Swenson Visit Part 2

8-11

We headed to Stewart Park on Tuesday morning for some playtime before it got too hot. Leah and Molly got to dress alike in matching outfits! Summer rompers on toddlers are a great way to show off those squishy baby legs. :)

Matching cousins!

I love this one! Just about the only thing that is the same between these two girls is their outfit. Molly's fair skin tone and red hair contrasts with Leah's white blonde hair and tanned skin almost like their features are exact opposite of one another. Oh, but they both have the same squishy legs, indented baby knuckles, and toothy grins!!

Sometimes Molly likes the swing, sometimes she doesn't. If she does, she definitely likes to swing slowly and not very high.

Leah was "pushing" Molly in the handicapped swing and giggling about it.

We walked on the bike path for a bit up to the YMCA just to get a taste of the path. It is a really great feature, one that we have definitely used more in the fall/winter/spring than in the summer. Apparently the path has been resurfaced and widened since I have done it with the kids!

Later that afternoon, we set up the kiddie pool, the baby pool, and water table.

On the last day Jill and Leah were here, we spent the morning playing inside and outside, eating German puffy pancake, packing suitcases, and chatting. We had so much fun with Jill and Leah as shown by the epic goodbye at the airport. Charlie was sad and distraught (which equals grumpy and angry since he doesn't seem to quite know how to deal with his emotions), Alanna was crying for quite some time, and Molly was surprisingly quiet. I cannot say enough how wonderful it is to have visitors to our house; one-on-one time, my own kids are still in their environment and therefore hopefully acting normally instead of their "vacation behavior", showing where we live, etc... We had so much fun with Jill and Leah and are so thankful they came out to see us. We love you!
