Whirlwind Vacation

We're back from our great vacation down south, and what a fun time it was! Abby and Ethan did very, very well on both car rides (we were on the road for 12 hours each way - wow!) Thank goodness for the van's DVD player, it was a lifesaver.

Our visit with Jennifer, Danny, Emma and Allison was a blast. Jennifer wrote about everything very eloquently at on her site, so go on and read it! I will just post pictures here to supplement. :)

Emma and Ethan... "1, 2, 3, jump!"

Self-portrait taken on the zoo train.

Such a lucky little man had a 2nd birthday party. He loves his Godmother "Memmer" (as Abby calls Jennifer)!
Danny and I are often excluded from the photos, 'cause we're usually holding the cameras! Here, Danny holds Ally instead. Ethan couldn't get enough of his Godfather (and middle-name-sake) "Uncle Dandy."

The kids had a blast at the children's museum. Here are Emma, Miranda (a friend of Jennifer's family), Allison and Abby. They are all in a glass room where they could paint on all of the walls. Messy, but fun!

What's more fun than three little fish in a tiny pond?

The butt twins. Emma and Abby would stick their butts at the sprinkler and run away screaming. Then, they would jump in the pool. Goofy girls!

The Zoo Crew (minus me). The kids are getting along so well as they get older - it's great to see them as friends!
