Some Summer

Summer berries may be involved in this photo..."Mo! Mo!" Therese has learned to say.

So cute :-)

The girls love the sunny spot in the living room in the morning.

A couple times this summer we've visited special parks and then Granville Island, via public transit, while also having a water taxi ride across the Georgia Straight.  Here's Greta climbing at a park downtown before riding a water taxi later in the day.

Our little rock climber.

This spinny thing is really fun!!!

The girls LOVE the swings.  Always. (Although TT's face here doesn't really reflect that, does it?!)

This downtown park has a beautiful water feature.  Many children were enjoying splashing around, so Greta couldn't help herself!  Soon she was SOAKED!

Popsicle time! 

Aunt Jenny got Greta this outfit two summers ago...it looks pretty adorable on Therese now.

Polka dot dappa daddas (Greta's old word for pajamas!)

One morning recently Greta was on a mission to create a "snuggle time" place in the living room.  It involved using many, many, many blankets and pillows!  She was quite the organizer and was really focused on this project!

The girls play together so much.  They really love each other :-)  Tonight in the bath Greta decided to wash Therese, and then Therese washed Greta!

Greta is in charge usually...

Snuggle time!!!

A couple weeks ago we had a Friday night movie night and watched Milo and Otis--a great movie about a pug nosed pup named Otis and a marmalade cat named Milo.  Ever since then Greta has been Milo and Therese has been Otis.  Here the girls are re-enacting a scene in the movie where one of them rides down a river in a box.  Whenever I sing the theme song to the movie now, Therese stops what she's doing and says "Eh!! Eh!!" and starts dancing :-) If the TV is anywhere nearby she also points to the TV if she hears that song.

Visiting a park near our neighborhood recently.  This park, Dunbar Park, also has sprinklers.  But the girls mostly like running around in the grass there :-) Here Greta is getting ready to RUN!!

Cute little Therese.

Digging around.

Greta loves this tree.

Playing hide and seek!  The girls often hide in the same spots over and over again, and Therese really gets into covering her eyes when I count :-)

On a recent beach trip we had planned the weather didn't quite cooperate...but the extra snuggles were enjoyable :-)
I've got more summer fun pictures to come...and we are looking forward to heading to the Seattle area for some family visits--we haven't ventured that far since Christmas!!!
