All Done!

Last week the girls celebrated their last days of school (Miranda's last day was "beach day," which was an added bonus).  Both girls are looking forward to summer fun.  They have already been swimming, climbing, walking in the forest, saw tadpoles and a deer (and that was only the first summer weekend!).  Not sure if Matilda quite grasps that summer break lasts more than few days, as every day she has asked to do a TON of things.  We keep telling her not to worry, there is time (but of course summer is NEVER long enough!).  (And many years from now I will owe Tilda an apology for waking her up to take this last day of school picture.)

Gone Fishin

What better way to spend another fabulous weekend then fishing?  It was Miranda's first time fishing and I think Matilda's second time.  Matilda lasted much longer then Miranda, who would rather be climbing or getting into something she shouldn't be.  Regardless, they both LOVED the Barbie fishing pole (and I think secretly Matt liked it too).  I think both girls even touched the worms (but wouldn't pick them up).  They also spent a lot of time telling each other to "leave nature alone" (i.e. don't kill the bugs) and climbing up and down the embankment (much to Daddy's displeasure).  Let's hope these wonderful weekends don't stop anytime soon!
