Bandana Lily.
The best family pic we could get so far. Why Rich had to wear his bandana I am not sure.
Apple picking Reese.

Feeding animals with D.

Rich and I have come to the conclusion the best thing to do on the weekends is find festivals, street fairs, etc and get out of the house. A friend of ours offered this advice months ago, and now we are all over it. The kids have more fun, you have less clean-up, and everyone is happier. Yesterday we were able to go to the Cranford Music Festival before the rain hit and ran into our friends Peter, Allie, and Erin. They had lots of bouncy kid things (which the girls are still not into...I am sure if they had a friend with them that would break the ice, they would be all over these kiddie things), and of course a petting zoo. We have been connoisseurs of petting zoos. They seem to be at every kid event we go to. The girls love it too. So of course, they missed their nap, got cranky, we end up carrying them, and we have to leave but we went to Princeton Marketfair (their favorite mall) to wander the rest of the afternoon. Well really to tear up Pottery Barn kids. Rich wanted to buy Reese the hot dog Halloween costume, but I talked him out of it.

Today was their buddy Deville's 2nd birthday. Again, they had a great time. It is so fun to watch them play with other kids and have a fun day. Lily didn't rank the hay ride on her top 3 favorite things of the day, but I think playing with D on the slide was #1.
