Play Dates and Wedding Date

Fun times for summer vacation this past week. The girls have been asking to have a couple friends over for a play date. This week seemed to be the week to fit it in. I dropped two kids off at daycare and came home with four!
Kelly and her friend Corey wanted to play with Kelly's Hot Wheels. This was after they had the tractors out. No wonder Corey was so excited to come play with Kelly.
Laura and her friend Jessica decided they wanted to paint their nails. Fun to listen to little girls giggle. I think everyone had a good time and know our two slept well that night.
Caught this picture of Kelly on another night playing with the remote control wheeler. I was amazed at her coordination with this thing. I seem to just bang it into everything. I should probably take lessons from her.
Saturday, Gary and I traveled to Rome for our friend Rick's wedding. Here he is with his bride and parents.
Gary and I with Rick. Gary and Rick are long time friends and Rick was one of our groomsmen for our wedding almost ten years ago. It was great to share this day with him and his bride.
The girls stayed with Grandma for the night and even got to go to dinner with Aunt Amanda and Uncle Eric. A true treat for them. They had so many stories to share with us about their dinner. Their favorite was the Happy Birthday song sang to their cousin Kelsey for her 16th birthday in Japanese. We picked the girls up in the morning and this is what we saw first. Kelly had her sleeves rolled up and ready to sweep by 8 am!!! If only we could get her rolling like this every morning. Later in the day we went to the LaVoie's to help with their water line. Kelly didn't wast any time to pick stone and put it in the bucket.
I think she was motivated by the tractor ride after with Papa Clem to dump them.
After the stone picking we headed back home. Laura has really mastered the two wheels this summer and enjoys riding on Grammie and Papa LaVoie's paved driveway.
Gary raking his second cutting Sunday afternoon. This is the middle field to the house. He managed to bale this field Sunday evening. Tonight he raked the far field and hopes to bale the rest tomorrow after work. The weather has been perfect. Just look at that sky!
