Okay, so I am officially a "bad blogger." I am sure there is code name out there, but I don't know it. I am that bad. Anyways we have had a busy couple of weeks.
We went to the mountains for two days and one night, while Frank worked at a job up there. He is building an indoor pool up there right now. So we decided to take the girls on their first mountain voyage. We had a BLAST. The first day we drove up, met Frank, ate lunch, and went to a trout farm. Parker caught a Rainbow Trout ( I think she liked its name more than the fish, but she was very excited). Kennedy began to understand by saying "ish" and liked touching it. It is funny because Parker would say "ish" as well at this age. After our fishing adventure we went and bought a bucket of dirt to try "gem stone mining." We actually got some pretty neat rocks. I think I enjoyed it more than Parker... the whole attention span thing..I think. We had a lot of fun and decided Kennedy needed to take a nap, so we drove. She fell asleep almost instantly, when we decided to go try Tweetsie. Kennedy got a power nap and was ready to go as well. We rode the train, immediately (Frank had to go back to the job site, just the girls and me). It was great until the indians charged the cabin. Oh yes, Parker freaked. I had to explain that they are playing dress up just like she dresses up like Cinderella. She calmed down and all was well. We met up with Frank after the train ride and took the girls to "tabletop." That is what we call it, but it was a Japanese Steakhouse where they cook on the table. Our girls enjoyed it greatly and then it was back to the hotel (which I will not go there, just know that I learned guys can live in a lot more filth than I can).
The following day we returned to Tweetsie. Parker rode a lot of rides. Her favorite was the tilt-a-whirl with me. We had a great time just giggling and even rode it twice. Kennedy rode her first ride, the little red boat. She seemed to enjoy it as well. We did MORE gem stone mining, after being unsuccessful panning for gold. And then went to feed the deer and goats. The girls LOVED it. Kennedy was squealing ( I think it was a mixture of excitement and fear). We decided after a whirlwind trip to the mountains we would head home. I thought the girls would sleep in the car. Kennedy slept the first 45 minutes, Parker then slept the remaining 2 and half hours. I was shocked. Kennedy my good sleeper apparently sleeps the best at home in her crib. She still travelled well and I was very proud of both of them.
After our trip to the mountains, we had a quiet week and then headed to the beach for Labor Day. We were busy. Parker caught some 60+ fish the first day, plus crabbing, playing in the beach, and of course eating. We took the girls to see the ocean (Kennedy's first time) and she was FEARLESS. She loved it. Parker has always had a "respect" for the ocean. Kennedy would fall down, let the next wave fall on her get up and do it again (yes, we were holding as best we could) but she was fearless. We had a wonderful time.
Now this past week, we began ALL of our activities. Parker started school and loved it. Kennedy started Kindermusik (a mommy and me class) and she enjoyed it thoroughly as well. It is going to be a busy fall but we are looking forward to it. I hope everyone is doing well. Enjoy the pictures. Sorry they are jumbled...still getting used to this blogging thing, obviously. Take care.
