A trip to St. Catharine's

We headed to St. Catharine's on Tuesday to visit my friend Lora & her kids, Owen & Ashley. Rachel was VERY excited to see the kids and I was excited to see Lora because it's been too long.

Just before we left for the day

Rachel thought it was pretty neat that Owen & Ashley had a slide in their basement playroom but she thought she'd play with the ball first.

Didn't take her long to figure out it was faster to walk up the slide instead of using the little stairs on the side of the tower.

Belly first - by the end of the day she knew enough to lift her arms up so she would go faster

Ashley & Rachel at the picnic table - waiting for lunch

Owen liked playing with Natalie. He was so good with her, too

Thinking about going for a swim

Rachel decided she would play in the sand/water area first
She's got some water wings on...is she ready to go in the water yet?

I LOVE her belly button - it's such a cute outie :)

This is as close to the water that Rachel would get. She wanted me to go in with her but I didn't bring my bathing suit with me. In addition to that, someone had to take care of Natalie :)

We had a great visit with them and we can't wait to see them again. Hopefully in the fall before the snow flies!
