At Busch Gardens, they had a Sesame Street area where she got to see her favorite character...she would see them again at another location later in the summer.
Abby loves the pool we have in our community...she likes to play with her cups and paint brush in the baby pool and then trot over and jump (with assistance) into the big pool. When naps mess up the pool schedule, she did spent a little time with her little pool.
Abby still loves to read her books and point out all the animals that growl and foods that she can say.
She really enjoys drawing. She likes to climb up on the chairs and color with her crayons while watching tv and sometimes speak on the phone as well...she is quite the multi-tasker.
She also likes to sit in the driveway and use her sidewalk chalk. In this picture she is also pointing out - and saying the word "plane" that she can hear and see...she also likes to point out and say the word moon.
Abby likes to pretend to drive as well - with supervision (it was Andrew's turn)...most of the time pretending to talk on the phone as well...
The end of July brought Andrew's 10th birthday. It is hard to believe. We celebrated with family and took him and his friend Luke to see Transformers -Dark of the Moon, for the second time. His presents were dominated with baseball items: a new glove, a pitch back, bases, and a "junk ball" wiffle ball set. He also got a Ryan Howard shirt.
We did take a family trip to Sesame Place to round out the summer. We had a good time. Abby got to see her favorite characters (again..)
Andrew and Gramps wore their Phillies shirts to a Phillies v Nationals game that we went to. We got to see the mascot Presidents on our way in. After 3 batters we sat for a 2 1/2 hour rain delay and saw 6 innnings....we left and found out later that the Nationals won on a bottom of the 9th inning walk off grand slam....it was a good time for everyone though.
This fall has Madi trying out field hockey and Andrew playing soccer. We look forward to watching them play...
We hope that you had a great summer...would love to hear about it...I plan on posting every couple months...so, until then....
