Party in the park, mannequins, and a belated birthday celbration with Dad

 We went to this community event called Party in the Park last week.  They offer many activities for kids and it is a fun event.  Last year, Maya and Bennett did not want anything to do with Clifford or spraying the fireman's hose.  This year, they were excited for both!

Clifford and Emily Elisabeth.  Love how Maya and Bennett both are hugging Clifford tightly

While Maya was talking with Emily Elisabeth, Bennett was messing with Clifford's tail!

Maya and Bennett both loved this super tall slide.  It looked scary to me, but they both went right for it.

Fireman in the making?!!



The fireman was so kind and helped Maya "water the trees"!

We went to JcPenney to pick up some flip flops for B.  He was fascinated by the mannequins.

He made sure he touched all the mannequins.  He would say, "little girl one, big daddy one, etc".  He was so adorable...well at least for the first 20 mannequins!

We froze 5 pieces of Bennett's birthday cake to eat when Dad got back from China the following Saturday

Happy for more cake!

Dad got home just in time for dinner

Bennett's "Honk Honk" shirt that Dad brought back.  Dad brought the girls beautiful fans from China

Maya and Bennett: this picture is evidence that you did occasionally like each other and get along!  They were so cute snuggling and reading together.
