Abby, Kenna, Whitney, Rylie
Our friends from Colorado, Rylie and Abby, came to visit their family so the girls got to play together. We've been spoiled getting to see them twice this summer. They had so much fun together - they all get along so well. I think they played for about 7+ hours without any fighting or problems - but lots of giggling! They act like they haven't missed any time together. Whitney gave Rylie a picture frame of the two of them from when they were in gymnastics together that she has in her room. When I was taking them back to their Aunt's house, Rylie told me that she wished she still lived here everytime she sees the picture. My girls really miss them!
Here they are pretending they are on a roller coaster - Weeee!
Silly girls! They had all kinds if ideas for ways I could pictures of them.
After a whole lot of work - and a little frustration - we finally got the trampoline tent set up for them. We tried setting it up last summer, but it had a broken bracket so it didn't work. We got that fixed and tried again. You would think that it should be pretty simple - three poles and two brackets - how hard can it be? The first problem - there were no instructions, the second was that we had one pole that was missing two sections so we couldn't figure out how it was supposed to work. When we decided to think outside the box - and try it the way that didn't make sense - it worked. I just had to hold the pole where it should be when it has all the pieces. The girls loved it. They laughed and laughed. They would open all the windows and then pretend there was a rain storm and have to hurry and get it all closed up. I have to admit - it is a pretty cool tent. So once we get the replacement poles (maybe we'll get around to it next summer) we will be set.
