We had a great visit with our cousins Eva and Cube.
We painted and colored and made tie-dye t-shirts. We went to the library for story time. We read lots and lots of books. We went to the petting zoo and the park. Mommy and Daddy even created a water park in our front yard.
But today they had to go home. Bye Bye.

And right before they left, Eva and Cube helped us clean the back porch.

We did some tie dye earlier tonight. Mommy let each of us pick a design. Then we went in the kitchen and placed the colors. It was fun. (when the shirts are finished we'll add more pictures)
While Mommy was getting us drinks, I got stuck between the bench seat and the wall. I couldn't get free. Mommy couldn't get me free. Two complete strangers tried, but couldn't get me free.
It hurt. I was scared. Mommy held me and tried to get me to calm down but each time I moved, it hurt more.
The Fire Department was called. They came and rescued me. I stopped crying when I got free.
The Firemen said I was ok. And that's when Mommy started crying.
We moved off the bench and sat in chairs. All of us shared chicken nuggetts and fries. The lady at the McDonald's was so glad I was ok, she gave us ice cream.
I am ok now. Mommy said it's going to take a while before she is ok.
Miss Stella hooked Cube up. While he was getting a sweet fade, Eva, Ysabella and I were playing with NeeNee. We had a great time. Miss Stella is the best.
Gram fixed us chocolate chip waffles. They were delicious. Mommy and Daddy took us to story time at the library. Eva made a new friend. Cube, Ysa and I went into story time. At the end of story time, we made fireflies.

Daddy filled the pool and turned on the sprinkler. We got our swimsuits and played for a long time. Then Mommy cut up some watermelon. We wanted some more but Mommy said we ate it all.
So Eva and Cube woke up at 7am. Ysabella woke a few moments later. I rolled over and went back to sleep. I didn't wake until the proper hour of 8.
Gram fixed us waffles, bacon, and strawberries (don't worry Uncle K it's turkey bacon). We watched The Backyardigan's and Little Einstein, and Phineas & Ferb. Then we played.
Then Mommy said lets go to the store. She said we didn't have to take a bath yet. And she said we could put on the same clothes as yesterday since we were coming right back. But Mommy had surprises. We went to the park instead. We had a great time!
We were gone all day. We are now back at base. Mommy and Gram have a lot of stuff planned.

But tonight we are tired. So we really aren't doing much. We watched the Pixie Hollow Games. Then we ate rasin bread. Then we watched Little Einsteins.
We brushed our teeth and flossed. Then we went to bed. Cousin Eva read us our bed time story "Duck Ellington Swings through the Zoo."
We made a quick visit at Grandmama Barbara's. Then we swung by Granny Lanetta's. Then we stopped off at Granny Charline's. We hung out with Pops. Then we zipped to Grandpa John's and had a quick visit with Cousin Miles. Lots of love. Lots of family.

So here we are on our big adventure and we had to stop. We sat in the car for over an hour. We stayed in our seats and were very good.
When the traffic finally moved again we rode for a minute then had to stop for another potty break.
Mommy said since we were so good and had been cramped in the car we could go to McDonalds.
Cube and Eva had nuggets. Me and Ysa had fries. Mommy gave us all cold water.
We are artistic. Gram lets us paint and color and draw. Mommy didn't like our painting today.
She took the markers and hid them. What can we say? We were having fun.
Update: Mommy and Daddy gave us a bath. The water turned black from the ink. Mommy had to use a rag and her body scrub puff to get the ink off us. Daddy grabbed the wipes to clean our faces. We bathed twice. Even so, the ink is still on in places. Mommy says we'll have to bathe twice tomorrow. Mommy was really upset because Ysabella used the marker to paint her toenails. I don't remember how we got ink between our toes. Oh, and Ysabella had ink in the grooves of her right ear. I'm glad Daddy was home. I think his jokes kept Mommy from killing us.
