A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of welcoming Grandma and Grandpa Boer in from Chicago for a brief visit. The kids love talking with Grandma and Grandpa on Skype each week, but seeing them in person is even better. We crowded in quite a lot that weekend, including a trip to the National Aquarium in DC (our first time on the Metro with the little ones)! But we also had lots of fun just hanging around the house. Oh, and throwing balls off the deck for Daddy to fetch. :)
See the soccer ball floating in the air there?
That's Daddy's part of the game - he tries to retrieve the balls as fast as the kids (and/or Grandpa!) can throw them, and tosses them back up. It's an awfully fun game.
Amelia's throws sometimes backfire - literally - and end up falling backwards out of her hand rather than forward. :)
Carter is finally proficient at riding his tricycle, although there's not a lot of room on the deck before you reach the edge and have to turn back around.
True to form, Amelia spent most of her time playing with bubbles. This has become her new obsession.
She does know how to blow bubbles herself, but her favorite thing is holding out the wand to anyone nearby and encouraging them to blow by making the appropriate facial expression.
Grandma was happy to comply.
Even Carter got in on the fun for a little while!
Well, till he lost interest. His attention span is about 4.6 seconds these days.
He's moved on. Trying to avoid her now.
But this sister of his is persistent!
She just doesn't give up! I think it makes her well-suited to live in a family with two brothers.
Especially when one of them happens to be this guy.
