To round out the month of June we had a lot of fun this week. In addition to meeting friends at the park on Monday for a humid, sweaty morning :) we:
Did some finger painting.
Yeah, not sure if we'll do this again anytime soon but it was fun for some I suppose. Lil and Em were so excited and as soon as I put paint on their papers the excitement lasted only about 10 minutes. Lily is better about getting things on her hands but still not a huge fan of getting messy. Emma doesn't mind at all getting messy but we had some issues on realizing we should NOT eat the paint. The binky helped some, but for some reason she took it out and then put plenty in her pretty light blonde hair. Like most things fun and messy, clean-up time took a lot longer than the actually activity.
Girls Beach Day.
This week the girls and I made our way to Chic's all by ourselves! A trip that intimidated me a bit but knew that I wanted to give it a try. We got it pretty streamlined so that Lily carried a few things and I carried everything else plus the feisty Miss Emma. This was also the first trip that we put the vests to good use. Made me a lot more comfortable having two kiddos in the water by myself. Lily has really gotten used to the water and is loves jumping the small waves of the bay.
Go to a Restaurant.(Summer Fun Can)
This evening we ventured to Waterside in Downtown Norfolk to have dinner. Lily is loving restaurants and wasn't shy telling our waiter what she wanted to drink, lemonade of course, and that she wanted chicken fingers and french fries to eat. So funny that we all had a good laugh. Emma sat in a booster seat most of the time and did extremely well.
Ferry Ride. (Summer Fun Can)
After a little walk around Town Point Park, listened to some music and people watched we hopped on the Paddlewheel Ferry that took us to Portsmouth. We walked around trying to find an open ice cream shop but ended up taking a half hour walk and then back onto the ferry to go back to Norfolk. The girls loved it and it was a lovely evening out for the fam.

Looks like soooo much fun! Love Lily in the purple vest (that is such a good color for her!) and the one of Em in the restaurant with you she looks so old and such bright blonde hair and blue eyes. Both growing up too fast! So glad you did the ferry. :)
Fun! We'll have to try the ferry too sometime.
