We've had a very special visitor this week - our great friend Ashton came to see us (ok - mostly the girls) from South Carolina. We met Ashton while in China on Katie's adoption trip - and she quickly grew to be one of the girls most favorite people!
On Tuesday - we headed down to lunch on the beach at Dukes in Huntington - Surf City, USA. It turned out to be a much nicer day that we thought it would.
It was a double bonus as Tia Annie is still here with us too!
Lunch at Duke's
Wednesday we went to "Splash" - the small water park at the aquatics center where the girls take swimming lessons. We have season passes and have been several times this year already, but usually I have no one to take pictures or watch the girls while I take pictures - so this is the first water park post of the year!
Triple bonus - Matt showed up late Tuesday night for the week (we have a little bit of a full house here right now!)
The big kids did the big slides....
here's Ashton..........!
Today, we headed to Long Beach to go to the aquarium with the Lucky Mommy's. The kids had a blast - it's fun because they are finally at an age where they really have fun with places that are designed to teach them through touching and doing -
best friends.....
I hope Ashton doesn't think that our lives are this much fun always!!! We have her for another full day - and then sending her back to her mom (who misses her terribly!) - thanks Rice Family for sharing your beautiful girl with us!!!
Thanks so much for letting me spend an amazing week with you all!! I had so much fun and will be super sad to have to leave!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Looks like a good time. I find it hard to believe that your lives aren't fun-in-the-sun everyday, though. :)
