An Afternoon with the Coulsons

Sally, Maury, Carter and Caroline came in town to visit grandparents and spent the afternoon with us! We met for lunch at Pizza Inn which was surprisingly tame with 5 kids ages 10 months-5 years!
Then we headed to the playground in our neighborhood for a little outside time after yesterday's stormy weather.
Once it was time for Caroline's nap we came home for a little dress-up!
These sweet girls see each other one or 2 times a year and they had the most fun!

These two were hilarious!

Wedding Barbie, Princess, Prince and King

After ballroom dancing for a bit in the driveway it was time for motorized fun!
I love how they are looking at each other probably saying go faster! The girls had fun chasing these wild drivers!

Eventually all of that running landed them in the LARGE water puddle, so we gave in and put them in their swim suits! I tried a slip-n-slide, water sprinkler and every toy imaginable, but the puddle was the most fun!

Maybe if we play in it after every rain daddy will take a hint and take us to the beach!!! They were making "water angels."

After soaking the clothes and bathsuits and washing shoes and socks, I think we will avoid this puddle as much as possible...I can't believe I let them "swim" in it!! They may need to soak in BIZ over night!!

We had such a fun afternoon and hope to play with our sweet friends soon!
