We were so happy to have the Ridgells come visit at the end of the summer. It's so nice to have kids the same ages, so that everyone has a buddy. Although G plays well with boys and girls, his games are becoming much more boy-like (like the afternoon we spent playing pirate robots, though I never totally grasped that one), and I wondered how Anna would take to it (she's into the princess thing). Thankfully, all the kids played together beautifully. Anna did ask Ryan at one point if we had any princess dresses, but when she found out we didn't, she was content to be Batman. Maybe the wings were reminiscent of fairy wings - a black fairy...
We spent the weekend doing Ruta Maya yoga, feeding Stretch and Spot (the giraffes at TDS), and swimming at our neighborhood pool. When dinner had stretched too late into the evening Saturday, and we knew another outing would be a disaster, Joe Don even went to grab ice cream and various candies to make our own "Amy's Ice Cream" at home.
As usual, the conversation was rich, the laughs kept coming, and the time passed too quickly. We can't wait for the next visit!
Jeremiah and Anna were the only ones patient enough to wait for Spot, who was timid.
So sweet
Apparently, the kids were a little worn out by Sunday morning. This is milk and Sesame Street time in our bed before church.
