Two Firsts

We had two firsts today. It was warm and sunny, but instead of hauling ourselves to the pool, we played in the sprinklers that were watering the lawn. I guess I forgot from when I was a kid that playing in the sprinklers doesn't actually require much time in the sprinkler. I brought the camera down, but the battery was dead :( So you will have to imagine Calli barely getting wet, and then running to her towel to get warm. And Mari, standing by herself, with the water flowing by at her eye level, waving her hands in the water and giggling. So cute!

It was also the first Starlight concert. One of my favorite things to do in the summer. We grab a blanket and pack dinner or just snacks, and sit in the park and listen to live music. It was great music - both girls danced and bounced along to the music. (Notice the "flowers" that Calli picked in her hand. She asked me their name - any ideas?)

We had all snacked a bit in the afternoon, and so I slacked and let the girls have Nilla Wafers and Fruit Leather for dinner. That is actually the third "first" - junk for dinner, but we hardly need to make that event any bigger than it is.

The group tonight was the Hackensaw Boys. I didn't know the name, but they are big enough to: have their own wikipedia entry, be playing on WGN television morning show tomorrow, and be playing at the House of Blues tomorrow night. Plus, they are from Charlottesville - where our dear friends Jim & Megan are.
