The boys took in the scenery,
while the girls' had their morning swim lesson.
Once swimming lessons were done it was time for more swimming,
followed by some lunch.
Then it was back into the lake.
Snack is very serious business!
It was the perfect way to spend this absolutely stellar day!  Any day spent at the lake is always wonderful, but it becomes fabulous when spent with dear friends!

Our Unplugged Sunday started with a request that Daddy paint their nails.  When you're a daddy of all daughters that's how you roll. 

After everyone's toes were painted (mine included!) we got ready and went to a lovely brunch at Old Sturbridge Village with Dave's side of the family before they headed back to New Jersey. They were up for the annual July Birthday Celebration which I will post about tomorrow. If you have never had the Sunday Brunch at OSV, make a reservation now.  You'll be glad you did!
After we said our good-bye's we headed home to get ready for the next part of our Sunday.  Next up:a visit with our dear friend Kristin who we do not see nearly enough.  The girls. however, decided that naps were in order and immediately fell asleep in the car (and some of us continued it at home too).
Five chicks hangin' out!
This is one of those friendships that no matter how much time passes we just pick up right where we left off!  Oh, how we wish we lived closer to Kristin!  Such a dear, dear friend she is!  Our visit with Kristin was the perfect ending to a perfect weekend!  Thanks everyone for making this weekend so much fun!

The Lake

This afternoon was our first lake adventure of the season!  After quiet time we got changed, packed up and headed over to the beach here in town.  It was the most perfect day for a trip to the lake.  The sky was a beautiful shade of blue, the clouds were perfectly puffy and it was just the right temperature.  We could not have asked for a better day!  As soon as we arrived, the girls got reacquainted with the lake and its inhabitants, clearly happy to be back at one of their favorite places.  They wasted no time getting right in the water, and then getting to work on a good few sandcastles.  Then, just when they think the day cannot get any better, some of our friends arrive and make the afternoon even more exciting! We came home tired, full of sand and super hungry.  And so another wonderful season of lake trips begins!

Our Sunday was a super busy one. So busy that it will take me a total of three blog posts to share all of the fun with you!  Today we bring you pictures from our lovely visit to the oreo cows!
"Look, mama!  A daisy!"
"Hi cows!"
The field of buttercups was just breathtaking!

It's a week of birthday partying for us!  Another one of the girls friends turned five today and invited us to join in the birthday fun at a local playground.  We are loving these outdoor birthday parties, and even better, the birthday families seem to be scoring incredible days for such special events!  Once Emily was done setting up, and the facepainter was ready as well, Emily came to see if Grace would be willing to get her face painted first.  Clearly she knew who her go to girl was!   She barely finished the words "face painted like a fairy" before Grace hightailed it over there.  You don't have to ask her twice!

Happy fifth birthday, sweet girl!
It was a glorious day!  The perfect way to celebrate turning five! May the next five years be as blessed and full of magic and wonder as the past five have been!  Enjoy your special day, friends!
