Summer!

Lots of fun this weekend - Logan was in town all week and got to meet his sister for the first time. He brought her presents and everything, so she was an immediate fan. We went to the 1st birthday party of Addison's buddy Maxwell (middle name Barrack - is it obvious that his parents are Democrats?) at the most amazing park in Southwest Minneapolis with a zero-grade wading pool with fountains in the center. The water was CHILLY, but should be all warmed up by later in the summer.

We spent a ton of time outside becasue the weather was so nice. Our back yard is looking a lot like a park these days, so instead of heading off to one, we had a picnic out in the grass and set up Addison's own personal wading pool. Abby, Alice and Anna were quick to throw on their suits and help Addison splash in the pool. Again, the water was CHILLY, but it didn't stop or little water baby from crawling right in. Yes, in case you're wondering, we did slather her with sunscreen and then put a hat on her when the girls' mom recommended it. :)

Addison has a newfound respect for Elmo - he is one of the funniest guys she knows. Check out the clip below, or on Flickr for a longer one where she is actually imitating his moves! http://www.flickr.com/photos/elizabethbarat/3629050296/
