More pictures of our last three weekends of activities. This past week the girls were out of school so we had Camp Widener/Camp Hamilton with a couple of different babysitters so as to save our vacation time! This coming weekend we are going to Beaufort. We are traveling to Minnesota over Labor Day weekend. Justin has 2 triathalons and a half marathon in the coming months so he is training hard. We also have both girls' birthdays soon and so I am going to start party planning!

Justin and the girls on his big 3-5! The two of us had a great birthday celebration--there was a wine tasting at Shiraz so we even had a babysitter!

Mira gave herself a black eye flopping around on the bed. Hopefully this is the worst of what will happen whilst doing such activities!

Mira attending her first "Princess" party. I think she was very impressed to be served pizza and cake by Ariel!

Blueberry picking for the last time of the season. The first time was great, second time so-so and the third time downright HOT!

Mira isn't so into picking the berries. She just eats them.

We celebrated 2 Ph.D. graduates this weekend: Dil and Beau. Mira ungraciously asked Dil for cake as soon as we got to her party and Dil very nicely cut her a little slice even though it wasn't time yet! Mira thinks that every party should involve cake. I can't say I disagree....

Capri Sun is like crack for Mira. She never really gets any sweet drinks so she usually downs the thing in about 1 minute!

Happy Birthday Burke! This year Mira did not sing him a solo. But she was very intent on the cake!

Sunday we went to the Fernbank Museum of Natural History for the first time. The motivating factor was an exhibit with mermaids. We liked it so much that we became members. Here Mira is twirling and curtseying. She learned how to curtsey as we borrowed Sound of Music from the library a couple of weeks ago. Mira is hooked!
