End of August Family Fun

My favorite photo of my favorite kids

Playing on my own

Joined by my sister once again

Why this boy needs a high chair that has a strap

I just found this one from Stockholm. Sweden.  This doesn't look comfy, but this is the night he slept the best all vacation.

Big smile boy

Walking on my on for one of the first times

Here comes cuteness

Big smile with my new milk cup.  He changed from sippy cups to straw cups now.  I guess from vacation where almost all his cups of milk were through a straw he got used to it and liked it.  It is much faster.

Looking at his sister acting crazy and wild and silly

Almost smirking at Savannah and trying to figure her out

Our little jumping bean

Laughing her head off

Just plain ol' silly

Just plain ol' beautiful

Having fun with my silly sister

We have been have very busy since coming home from Europe.  First settling back in and adjusting to the jet lag.  It took us almost a week to all get back on track.  Last weekend we went up to one of our favorite places--the Adirondacks.  We were in Lake George and Saratoga.  We went to The Great Escape (6 Flags), outlet shopping and to the village of Saratoga.  We love it up there. 

Savannah finished up with her summer activities--camp, sports squirts (a week of sports camp doing a different activity every day--kickball, t-ball, soccer, and basketball), hip hop dance class (which she is signed up for this fall too) and swimming lessons at the lake.  We hope to continue with swimming lessons if we can find a place and time convenient with school.  She starts pre-K soccer on Thursday for 8 weeks.

Savannah starts at Montessori Oak Grove on September 7th.  We have parent orientation on the 2nd and Savannah has orientation on the 3rd.  We are headed down the shore for Labor Day weekend to spend the weekend with Auntie I. 

We are looking forward to a fun-filled Fall.

 This is the fancy Nimb Hotel, right in the park.  It is like the Grand Californian.

 Savannah an dI are up there on the ferris wheel

 Hard Rock Copenhagen

We always go to the Hard Rock Cafe

Tivoli is definitely the gem of Copenhagen.  We went ealry on the only nice weather day we had.  Savannah went on 10 rides and had a wonderful day.  They also had an amazing playground and gourmet restaurants.  We ate at a Japannese restaurant on the lagoon.  It was glorious.  They also had beautiful gardens and it was peaceful and shady.  The amazing Nimb Hotel was in the middle of the park.  We truly loved this retreat in the middle of the busy city.  We left after we had dinner (around 5) and it was a good thing we did since there was a free rock concert at night and it go so crowded in the park.  It was so nice earlier.  We spend about 6 hours there and loved it.  Now we know what everyone was raving about.
