Gracie & Bradley playing with Geo Trax.
Last Friday, we mowed for the first time. It needed it for several weeks before that, but between the daily rain and Doug's work schedule, we didn't get to it until Friday.

I'm so glad we brought the wagon since the kids chose to walk almost the whole day.

It started sprinkling right at the end and Bradley covered his head to keep from getting wet.

YAY!! I finally get to see updated pictures of your two! Thanks for sharing all of them. Guess Who is a big hit here in our house too!! It's pretty bad when the girls can beat me at it rather easily. ;)
Shan, you are welcome to come visit anytime. We would have a blast.
Beck, she got a Hello Kitty purse too. I think it all came from Target. You and Sofia should check it out.
Bethany, it did take forever. About two hours.
Phia, they have the younger person goes first rule to give the kids a leg up on us. That's why they win so often. ;)
