Wordless Wednesday

Charlotte's tennis lesson with Kevin…check out the form! :)

Backhand "just like Mamie"…based on the position of the ball, however, I think maybe she is swinging a little too late haha

Cutie :)

Henry waiting patiently for his haircut…no pictures of his actual haircut because he was screaming/crying the entire time! Ugh.

On Saturday night, we took the kids to Southampton for dinner and ice cream.  I should note that Charlotte picked her own outfit :)

As we walked past this jeweler on Jobs Lane, Charlotte asked if Santa Claus would get her this 6+ carat emerald ring, haha.  She asked me if Santa knows how to make those kinds of presents…I told her "I don't know, but if he does, I expect to get one too!"  Hey, there is an End of Season 40% off sale, after all :)

Henry makes quite the mess with a cup of ice cream…so from now on, this is how he has to eat.  You can tell he was thrilled!

After dinner and ice cream, we took the kids to the beach to run off some of that sugar!  Such a beautiful night :)

Running the dunes

Such a ham

His body was moving faster than his feet haha :)

Mommy & Daddy did NOT run the dunes :)

With my goose

On Sunday, we took the kids to Harbes in the morning, and then went wine tasting…not a bad day! :)

Charlotte touching a baby chick (only a few weeks old)

Happy girl!

Mike was NOT traveling light...

…but he did rock the man purse! :)

Charlotte and Sydney playing "knock knock" (don't ask) at the little house

Silly girls (notice what outfit Charlotte picked out again…)

Telling me about the "biggest chicken in the world" (by her own declaration)

Buddies

Henry on the spider web

Saying "bee! bee! bee!".  No, Henry, not a bee, it is a spider. "Bee! bee! bee!"

With the goats

Taking a little break...

Getting her face painted…she got a cupcake on her hand, and a butterfly on her face.  So exciting!

Here is a close-up of her butterfly (in pink and purple, of course!) :)

When we showed up at Martha Clara, Jon went to walk Henry and try to get him to go to sleep, and Charlotte ran right to the animal pens. The first thing we encountered were these turtles mating, and she was incredibly concerned that the big turtle was going to "squish" the little one.  She was running around saying, "oh no…he is going to hurt the baby! Oh no!".  To say that the adults around us were hysterical would be an understatement :)

Charlotte and Sydney…such good buddies :)

Charlotte appears ready for a pretty intense game of soccer haha

Grandma came to hang out for a bit…posing in front of the bulls (we think)

Feeding the goats out of an ice cream cone!

Meanwhile, Henry was asleep in his stroller under a big umbrella…check out the crossed feet.

…clutching Duke with his little fingers.  Sigh.

And before long, he was up and ready to have fun!

They were strangely interested in the manhole cover under the sand, because they could poke holes right through the sand

All business

Charlotte wanted a turn pulling Henry, but this didn't last long!

That's more like it! :)

Not as easy as it looks, haha

Good times…we had a great weekend.  Lucky kiddies, lucky parents :)

And this was how I found Henry on Monday after driving to school…guess that 6:30am wake-up was too much for him!  I knew it was a bit too quiet in the car :)
