July!

Friends, family- my fave month of the year has arrived: July. 

Jump started at pool w friends. P and crew. 

When they stood there holding the door, I knew I had to get a pic. 

Dinner at Grammy and Pops' house. Deer watching. 

Coloring. 

The next AM, watching Blaze, no doubt. Total guy show. Monster Trucks. 

4th of July picnic at my dad's- aunt Jeanette did the girls' hair as usual. This is something my girls love and will cherish forever. She is the best. 

Below is my fave action shot. Everyone having a blast. 

This girl does whatever the hell she wants- happy as a clam w her barbies. 

Tuesday we hit up Winterthur's Terrific Tuesdays for kids with Grammy and Emily. There were about 1 million crafts. 

Below the girls are just watching a lady mold a sea turtle out of clay. I couldn't believe the kids' attention span for this activity!

Kennedy and Penelope and the twins joined us after about an hour. 

Watching their shrinky dinks harden in the toaster oven. 

Em showing Benny and Hilly some artwork. 

Our walk to the enchanted woods. 

This place was absolutely adorable! 

Huge birds nest. 

Mushroom mist. 

So Em took the pic above and creates the picstitch below- she was the cutest toddler ever!! She wasn't with us today and we missed her so much. 

The kids first maniacally explored everything and then Jackie and Kennedy (pretty sure they are meant to be friends) started playing fairies, which is totally appropriate and awesome. 

Below the kids are looking into a mirror on a tree, but on the other side of the tree, you look in and there is a little miniature fairy house- gardening tools, a little chair. I legit love miniature stuff. Why is it so cool?? This is a serious question. 

Frog pond with blue water. 

Em and Benny. True love. 

Hilly and Pelentope. 

Completely candid, below and also completely adorable. 

We were trying to round everyone up- and this is where they were hiding. We were starving and had been there for like 4 hours. 

Then we ate a quick super late lunch at Winterthur and headed to the mall w Em and then tennis. It was an insane and full and really fulfilling day.
