Bye Bye Auntie Audrey

Our visit with Auntie Audrey ended too soon, it seemed, time for her to head back home. The kids really enjoyed her company, and Mommy enjoyed Auntie's skills on Milan's hair while she was here! Here are a few parting shots of the kids and Don with Auntie. She had several flight delays so got home VERY late this night.

A visit to Carol's

We made a trip to Pennsylvania to visit Don's cousin while Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Audrey were here. Carol's husband's parents were visiting from Kenya so it was a nice visit for everyone. We even stopped at IKEA in New Jersey on our way their, since Grandma and Grandpa hadn't seen it. We had lunch their, their Swedish meatballs are awesome!! The kids always have a great time at Carol and Doc's place as they love playing with Modi and Jen.

Moving Up Day

Mzee's class had Moving Up day which celebrates the kids moving on to kindergarten. They had a small program which was adorable to watch. Mzee will be in this class again in the fall, and still enjoyed it greatly. It was great for Mzee that Moving Up Day took place while Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Audrey were visiting!

Mzee enjoying the cake!

While Mzee was in school this day, Grandma made cookies and made one great big cookie for us to celebrate Moving Up Day. She used the new Cool Whip in a can to decorate the cookie, but it wasn't as easy to do as we thought it would be. The cookie was delish and Mzee loved it!

Milan and Auntie

To celebrate Moving Up Day, Grandpa and Grandma got the kids a new Amazing Bubble Machine. It is truly amazing, it makes huge bubbles and even can make small bubbles inside of large bubbles. They saw it being demo'd on The Today Show the day that they went to see it being taped during their visit and Grandpa went to Target in search of this Amazing machine. The kids LOVE it as you can see from the pictures here!

In the Backyard...

Just a few shots of the kids with Grandpa and Auntie Audrey in the back yard.

Friendship Park with Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Audrey

Of course the kids wanted to show Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Audrey Friendship Park. It was a great day and we had a great time! Milan actually fell asleep in the car on the way over to the park, so Grandma stayed with her in the car while she napped. While we were preparing to leave she woke up and we ended up meeting up at the ice cream truck...Mr. Softee. This was the best soft serve ice cream we've ever had!! We all loved it!

Mzee loves playing in the sandbox at the park!!
