Just Another Day at the Park

Today was just another day at the park where the girls rode animal shaped rides...
Where Sophia got a little daring and stood in hers...
And then tried to drive it like a maniac (only to stay in one place the whole time)...
Today Sophia climbed a rope wall...
and played peek-a-boo...
Today Lily scaled a tiny mountain...
Today Sophia spun...
and spun...
and spun some more...
Today Lily threw her hands in the air as she slid down that slide...

Then like her sister, Lily spun around...
Did I mention that Sophia liked spinning today?
So much so that she decided to go for round two...
While Lily went for another spin in the ladybug...
and then round two of her spin class...
Today Sophia hopped across the mushrooms...
and then got in a little gym time...
Today Lily found herself face to face with an amphibian...
As did Sissy...
Today the girls conquered said amphibian...
And then just for good times sake, they spun some more...

A September Swim

Although fall had officially begun almost a week earlier, the California weather still felt a little like summer.
Warm weather always gives the girls an excuse to do one of their favorite activities...
However, Sophia soon discovered that warm weather doesn't always translate into warm pool water...
Whether cold or warm, Mermaid Lily couldn't be fazed either way...
Sophia couldn't be bothered with the cold water and preferred to be bundled up...
Sharing snacks with her Papa...
Lily joined soon after...
From the pool, we then went to the park...
Where the weather felt much warmer.
So with flushed cheeks, we made the short walk back to Grandma and Papa's...
Hand in hand with Papa...
Once home, the girls were quickly cooled by ice cream...
And Papa was humored by Sophia's storytelling...
and just her flat out cuteness...
A day spent with Papa and Grandma.
Nothing compares to it.
