Hidden Oaks Nature Center

More pictures from our trip to the Hidden Oaks Nature Center, Took the nice camera, can you tell? Elia was actually laughing hysterically but we caught this one in action and it is one of our favorites; and we were able to catch Curie looking at her sister with the big sister face. I found some pictures from five years ago to remind us of how fast it is going.
One day they won’t want to wear the same clothes, but today they are so cute. Oh we saw a deer too. Tanpopo and then the Hidden Oaks Nature Center.

Sunflowers 2019

Yes, we paid a lot, but the kids had a great time getting lost in the sunflowers. And yes, they sang the song.

Years ago we went to Burnside Farms to pick tulips under the advice from Emma, they do charge per person and then again for each flower you pick.

No Reason Needed to Dress up for Dinner

During the year, the girls like to wear dresses to school, but at camp they wear camp shirts required by the camp. So last night, when we asked what they wanted for dinner, they said that they wanted to put on dresses and eat somewhere fancy – but not too fancy.
 
We ended up with Erin matching the kids and Albert getting into a sport coat, and soon we were dressed as we were for Julie and Steve‘s wedding rehearsal dinner. At Clyde’s a tipsy pair of women loved the fact that we looked so cute and took our picture; Lo and behold, our family picture of the week.

Elia’s Kindergarten Orientation

It is hard to believe, but Elia will be going to kindergarten this year.
Not just a flash in the pan – remembering what is important part two. Here is a second daddy-daughter date right before kindergarten orientation. Elia wanted my “bow tie” to match her dress so we dressed up again. Amber Marcellino, you guessed our last place, do you recognize this one?
