August 26: Sandy Pines (reprise) and other treats

Today we went again to Sandy Pines, courtesy of the generous, Aunt Judy. (Thanks Aunt Judy!!) This time things were in our favor: they didn't treat the lake today, and we knew the waterpark hours.
Calli enjoying jumping on the trampoline. She wanted to swim across the lake. It is no Lake Michigan, but it is a decent workout. When we got to the other side, I tried to get her to get out and walk around, but she wanted to swim all the way back - and did!
She even beat me back. She was so proud that she was #1, and I was #2.
Mari had just woken up from her nap, and was not thrilled that mom was swimming with Calli instead of cuddling with her - but Tia KT is a good cuddler too.
Then we were off to the pool.
Calli decided she could put her face in the water today. And she did it over, and over, and over again. Could we have a swimmer on our hands??
On the way home we stopped for ice-cream. Tia didn't order all 3 cones, she was just helping us hold them. Mari loves to mooch whatever Tia KT has: see her pointing to the one she wants - Tia's mint chocolate chip.
Mari, eating Tia's ice cream - with traces of her original pick, SuperMan ice-cream (the blue, red and green one), still on her face.
Calli: eating chocolate ice cream is very serious business.
Tonight, Tia KT took me out for a different treat. We both got manicures :) Thanks Tia KT for the manicure, and Grandma & Grandpa for staying with the girls.
Our final treat of the night was mom's famous ICD (ice-cream crunch dessert) with a great game of Ticket to Ride - Europe!!
