Camping Cuties

Another set of guests have come and gone.

Jeepers!

This summer is flying by and my girls are growing up!!

It was so lovely to see our most recent visitors,

but sadly we didn't get very many photos.

Mostly because they took advantage of ever last moment that they were here

to explore PEI and everything that it has to offer a family.

Since Mark had to work,

I opted out of taking part in the excursions

because I would have ended up slowing everyone else down,

while I nursed the littlest one (frequently)

and catered to her big sister's needs

(food, naps, explanations of who and what everything is)!

Either way, 

Lee Ann if you're reading this,

it was lovely to see you and your family

and we hope that you had an amazing family vacation here in PEI.

If you guys have any photos of the wee ones together,

please send them along to be added to a blog post! 

So what exactly did we do while our guests were off exploring?

We avoided the rain and built play tents in the living room instead.

Piper and I built the first tent 

while I somehow nursed Elliotte at the same time.

After it passed Piper's inspection,

she quickly disappeared into her bedroom

in search of Dora and Boots,

so that they could join in her fun.

While she was gone I poked Elliotte inside the tent

and then resumed the position that I was in before Piper left the room. 

When Piper returned she anxiously ran up to the 'door' of the tent.

That's when she heard a noise.

She looked at me with a very confused face

wondering what in the world could be making a noise in her tent.

That's when she cautiously peeked inside,

only to see her baby sister smiling up at her.

I wish you could have heard the squeal of delight

and the laughter that promptly followed. 

That's when I was directed to renovate the tent

to make it a little wider.

Big enough for two!

This act was followed by many giggles by both parties present.

(And perhaps a few from the audience!)

Peep!
Yes it was me making the little sounds while hiding in the tent!

Room for two!

I hope this foreshadows many years of fun playing together for these two.

You can't see it so well in the above photo,
but Piper has a nasty looking eye.
I'm sure that some day I will be writing about this being Elliotte's fault,
but for now all the blame can be placed on a mosquito.
Ouch!
