This year I discovered the best time to go to the Pilgrim Place Festival in Claremont - on the friday afternoon around 2 because it closes at 4 pm. This year, the weather was great, overcast and threatening rain, the kids got treats to eat while we waited to ride the Mayflower, took in another Indian teepee storytime, wrote with quills & ink and did the glue-in (the things the kids are holding).
Mom, Dad and A.Molly even came down and joined us after dad and Molly had just driven in from AZ earlier that day.
Always have to get a pic by the Hadley House when we are there.
Meanwhile Gentry stays preoccupied climbing up things and drawing with dry erase markers.
Hadley was Annie Oakley. Lauren, a flapper and by default, Gentry was one too b/c she refused to take off Lauren's dress so grandma awesomely made her a costume as well. Check out how Gentry shows how old she is: "2!"
this is what it looks like when a.molly comes to visit - yeah, we love her. alot.
first day of the long-anticipated ballet class. gentry was just excited to carry a bag like lauren.

gentry continues to eat at her 'table for one'.

i don't know about the playhouses at your house, but ours is a two-story and we only play upstairs.
