City Beach 2009!

We went to Ocean City for a long weekend last week. Also known as City Beach. We had a great time. The girls had so much fun and we got to visit with some friends we haven't seen in a while. Beautiful girls on the beach.

Of course we honored the Woody family tradition and flew kites on the beach.

We went to the boardwalk on Saturday night and met up with the Grose family.

Francesca was super excited to see SpongeBob. He is her absolute favorite.

Passed out after a long day on the beach and boardwalk. No arguments about going to bed that night.

My girls

Love the ponytail!

A lot of kids hate the sand, mine don't!

These sisters just love each other to pieces!

Carnival Fun

We went to the Arbutus Carnival last week with the Henry's. The kids had fun, especially Hayden and Francesca. They rode all the rides while Anna and Kylie watched the action from the stroller. Maybe next year they can ride the rides. Anna and Kylie show off the prizes their dad's won for them.

Potty Time!

Anna has shown some interest in the big girl potty so she's been checking it out lately. Francesca is so cute, telling her what to do and promises to give her treats if she goes. Anna on her new potty.

Shore Time with Daddy

Kevin went to the shore with us last weekend. Francesca was so excited to show him around and to show him how well she swims in the water. Daddy and his girls.

Happy 4th of July!

We had a very busy 4th of July weekend. We started off with a cookout at the Mansolillo's house on Friday. The kids had a blast. Jack in his swing.

Jack has a really cool roller coaster that Francesca LOVED! She got on a thousand times!

Then on Saturday we woke up bright and early to watch Ms. Melissa and Ms. Ali run by our house in the Firecracker 10K. After that we went to the soapbox races and played some games at Arbor Manor. We went to the Arbutus and Catonsville parades which the girls loved then to the Henry's for a cookout, and topped off the day with some fireworks. Whew! I get tired just thinking about it.

Francesca got to stay up for fireworks for the 1st time this year. Anna didn't make it. We had so much fun.

Strawberry Picking!

We went strawberry picking with Nana and Zia last weekend at Baugher's Farm in Westminster. It was a lot of fun and the berries were so sweet.Nana and Anna on the tractor.

Doesn't she look like she's from Little House on the Prairie?

This little kitten was a big hit with the girls. Francesca is still talking about it. In fact she wanted a cat but when we told her she had to clean the poop she changed her mind. Smart girl.

Pretty girls on the farm.
