Backtracking a little bit…a couple of weeks ago we took our 2nd road trip out to VA to visit family. Our girls got to spend lots of quality time with their cousins; Maddie and Sophie took full advantage of being around so many teenage girls, partaking in lots of giggling, staying-up-very-late, cooking concotions, and other general mischef!
Josie, of course, rolled with it all, not letting a silly thing like age stop her.
“Hey, JieJie - I see Cookie Monster in that tree!”
“Kate, what does this button do?…Oops.”
Cousin Kate taught Maddie how to dive off the side of the pool (our own pool at home is too shallow for diving). Note how Sophie remains perched on the edge - she kinda thought Maddie was crazy. Ironic, isn’t it?
Now this, THIS is crazy. Sophie’s attempt at a glass-bottomed boat. Except her head is underwater. Ladies and gents - I present to you the next great genius of our time…(wink).
Of course, with all that action, you had the occasional accidental nap.
And there was the beach, in stormy days…
…and sunnier ones.
“I can jump too!”
Most importantly it was a great chance to do nothing but sit back, relax and enjoy each other. The mark of succesful vacation, I’d say!
