Fun with friends

We have been lucky to do lots of fun stuff so far this late spring/early summer with our friends. Here are some of the fun stuff I have actually gotten pictures of:

Going to a minor league hockey game with Claire and Owen (and parents). We adults even braved Outback steakhouse with all these kids and they did great! We are finally at that point where we can go to restaurants (or "rest-ra-nauts" as Dono still calls them) and actually all enjoy our meals and our time. It's lovely.

We went to Ian and Colin's house for their magic themed birthday. The magician also made balloon animals so Reese had him make... drumroll please... a kitty.

Hanging with their friend Abby. She never stops moving. Didn't get a pic of the birthday boys, they were too busy.

We went to Grant's farm with Owen and Claire and their cousins Ray and Sam. It was perfect because Reese and Claire were inseparable and Dono and Ray best buddies as well.

Both kids were really excited to get a map of the place. They were VERY territorial of these maps.

Dono and Ray rode the camel together and Reese and Claire rode together. Claire's mom said she didn't think that Claire would have been brave enough to ride the camel if it weren't for Reese so Reese's bravery rubbed off!

A post snow-cone smile picture if I ever saw one.

This past week Penelope (or "Pa-len-o-pee" to Donovan) had her 4th birthday at the bowling alley. Donovan was definitely the best bowler but Reese bowled about 4 frames and declared she was done. Not enough princess and make believe for that girl.
