Weekend in Rochester

The girls and I spent the past weekend in Rochester visiting my parents. We walked with my mom and bunch of her friends in the Komen for the Cure walk on Friday night. Fortunately for us, the rain let up just as we were getting ready to start the walk.

We walk in celebration of Grandma!

Spinning the wheel for prizes

Avery won a pom-pom

Playing in the kids area - bubbles!

Crossing the finish line

We also spent a lot of time outdoors - playing at the park, picking strawberries from Grandpa's garden, playing at my Dad's partner's wedding reception. This girls had an absolute blast! Avery already told me she wants to go back!

First time on a merry-go-round. Morgan said: "I no like it mommy!"

Checking out Lake Springfield (or as Morgan says "Papa's Lake")

Blowing bubbles at Grandpa's partner's wedding

Morgan got brave and actually pet a dog! Huge step towards getting over her fear!

Throwing rocks - nevermind that they're wearing white dresses

The girls got lollipops from a piñata and carried them around everywhere

And Morgan pet another dog - can't believe she did this!

Morgan's new friend Jessie let her sit up in the Kubota

Avery was excited to sit up there, too

Watching all the "gooses" at "Papa's Lake"

Slow-going when you have to wait for the doll to walk

Avery helped by pointing out strawberries for Grandpa to pick

The girls have been getting so big lately (seriously - stop growing up!) that we have to find other options for sleeping when traveling besides the pack-n-plays. This was our first attempt at using these kids' air mattresses (or as everyone was calling them - the rafts). The girls did pretty well the first night. But, the second night they were wound up and jumping and rolling around on these like they were trampolines. It took a while to get them settled. :)
