August 26: Calli Swimming
Well, in this video, she is jumping off a little ledge, but you can see how comfortable she is with her head going completely under the water.
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!!

August 25: Birthday & Baseball Videos
Tia KT got some Tiramisu for her birthday dessert - but the girls barely let her eat a bite.
At the baseball game, we had lawn seats - and ended up on a rather steep hill. The girls rolled down it over and over and over again.
August 25: Tia's B-Day and WhiteCaps
Today, we went to visit Grandma at her office. It has FREE POPCORN!!!
The girls were almost as excited about eating Tia KT's birthday cake, as they were to see Grandma and her co-workers.
Then, it was off to Olive Garden to start the celebration of Tia KT's B-day. "Kudos"
We ended the night by going to a WhiteCaps game.
Blue cotton candy anyone??

August 24: "Park" at the Mall
Today was another low-key day. After church, and naptime, we headed to the mall to buy some birthday presents for Tia KT. But the highlight was playing at the "park" in the mall. 
Isn't it a great picture? Worth the candy bribe I had to pay to get it :)

She figured this out herself, and did it over, and over, and over!!
Happy Birthday Tia KT
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you -
You look like a monkey, but we st-ill LOVE you.

August 23: Low-Key Day
Today was a low-key day. We took it easy, went grocery shopping, and eventually stopped at Gap Outlet for some school shopping. After grocery shopping, the girls wanted to ride the horse at Meijer. Calli enjoyed it, but Mari was the one pulling on the reigns - rocking with each "gallop". It was cute.
