Manatee Care

Today Lily comes in the kitchen where I was working. I asked her, "Where's Grace?"
"She's changing her manatee's diaper," she replied.
Sure enough...

Tahoe

It will become apparent from all my pictures that we spent most of our time at the beach. And that seemed to be the only time I remembered to bring out my camera. We had such a great time. Thanks Grandma and Grandma W. for providing the lovely accommodations. :)
Now for way too many pictures...


This $20 boat from Raley's Supermarket was a big hit. The girls called the oars seatbelts.


Grace said she wanted to pull Lily "all by her big-self."

The Road to Tahoe

It was a long road (twelve hours long) filled with an unexpected delay and an unexpected run-in with Grammy and Grandpa G. The bad - a three hour delay south of Bishop due to the road being washed out. The good- seeing the grandparents who were on their way camping. They entertained the girls during the 3 hour 3 mile stretch.

Beach Behaviors

How they like to spend time at the beach is one of many examples of just how different the girls are...

Lily prefers building sandcastles and lounging in Mommy's chair.


Grace wants to spend the entire time in the big waves.




And recent haircut photos...
