August - Week #2



Grandpa, Jenna & Dave waiting patiently for the Carousel at Glen Echo to open. The power was out!


Drew & Dad still waiting....

but wait....the Carousel is now open!



Good thing we stuck around! - Jenna's first ride - a little hesitant at first, but then all was good!



Amelia and her bunny!




Ava rides an ostrich.



Jenna's got the hang of it - but in Jenna style, things wouldn't stay simple. Jenna wanted to ride with her sisters, go up and down, change animals, and walk around the moving carousel...... By ride number three that was it for Jenna. Amelia & Ava loved their three rides, and just in time too - we just missed the rain! That worked out perfectly.



Wednesday - we decided to do dinner out - Olive Garden. There's Amelia enjoying a favorite - mussels. See Jenna getting in on the picture action there?



There's Ava with our salad - oh wait! That's all HERS!!




For Jenna it wasn't about the food, it was about making the rounds family member to family member -standing on as many chairs as possible. This was fine at dinner. It was the after trip to Lowes for paint that brought on the parent frustration with our ever on the go Jenna.




Drew super happy waiting for his lasagna.

Another slow week. Friday brought hints of what's ahead - SCHOOL!!

I heard from Andrew's bus driver, and Amelia and Ava received their teacher assignment letters in the mail. Amelia has the "okay" Ms. Barbour, and Ava has the "singing and guitar playing" Ms. Delaney - (all the teacher information provided by the girl's neighborhood friend :).




School is just two weeks away. Where did the summer go?
