I decided that we were long overdue for a trip up to Statesboro to visit with our favorite Aunt Cindy and Uncle Jim. We last came up in late May for Claire's graduation.
There are certain things that just must be done when we arrive at Aunt Cindy's, including nail painting. I promise I paint their fingernails and toenails all the time!! Elizabeth always goes into Aunt Cindy's room and helps herself to the polish and requests some painting. This time Aunt Kate was the painter.
Now Anna Kate must have everything that Elizabeth has so painting of nails is doubled.
The girls did not take long to scope out all the available toys and this time Elizabeth discovered the pogo sticks. She worked up to jump three times without falling off which is better than me.
Meanwhile Anna Kate insisted on getting some bike riding in....which meant Kate and I took turns pushing her around. Uncle Jim eventually strapped two blocks to the pedals so Elizabeth could ride around.
Later that afternoon we went to a fair at Mill Creek. It was an international fair the University put on and the girls were really into the dancers and their costumes. A big highlight was face painting.
Elizabeth requested a reindeer.
Anna Kate requested a butterfly. I think Anna Kate won on the cuteness of painting.
Later that evening Aunt Cindy, Kate, Myself and the girls made turkey cookies. They were so cute!! Sadly Kate and I required perfection and after the candy corms were put on the tails we dismissed the girls and finished them ourselves.
This is a view I will never get tired of, the road to Aunt Cindy and Uncle Jim's house. Makes me breathe easier just looking at it. Until next time Statesboro!!!
