Backtrack and Birthday

Every time Jim and Jax lay low together, they watch the Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's super cute. 

Below is the only pic I have of Ben from Granmy and Pops' last Saturday. Their good friend from Switzerland came and the girls- especially Hill- had a great time with her. Meanwhile, Ben broke a glass lamp. Here he is in exile. 

The pool on Sunday. Not our best pool trip. 

They lasted longer on the playground outside the pool. Probably bc I forgot to bring Barbies. 

Monday we went to the beach with our friends for a night. So. Much. Fun. 

I mean, need I say more? 

A lot of positive peer pressure here on the rides. 

Lisa and I went on the Sea Dragon w all the kids. I love that ride. This is the evening Hilly ran away onto the tea cups. Ugh. 

Next morning Jax biked for coffee. So proud. 

Benny manned my beach chair. Or anyone's who got up.

I srsly almost bought Jim a hermit crab. 

Then we woke up to Hilly's birthday. We just went to Target and the park after naps but when dada got home things got special. He handed her a Minnie Mouse balloon and she was soo happy. She just said "it's my birthday!"

And Jim surprised Jack w a gift too (softie).

And a surprise visit from Aunt B!
