An Eventful Week

Libby and Aunt Holly in the wild

This past week was the last week of Summer Vacation for Dad, and it also happened to be a week off for the girls from daycare.  This worked out in the girls' favor, as it turned in to a week of all of Libby and Mary's favorite summer activities (plus one or two of Dad's!).  On Monday, Libby and Mary went to Kiddie Park with Dad and Grammie Yandek.  No matter how many times the girls go, every time they pull in the parking lot, it's like the first time they've ever been there.  Mary, especially, can't even control herself.  She starts shaking and laughing to the point where strangers offer her a paper bag...

Libby and the Browns at the Stadium

Tuesday was a regular day with Grammie and Papa Hanna and the girls spent some time with Aunt Reen and Claire and Corinne on Wednesday morning.  But Wednesday night was Libby and Daddy Time!  It was off to Cleveland Browns Stadium for Browns Family Night.  Libby and Dad had a great time, although they stayed out way past Libby's bed time.  Libby's highlights of the evening, in order: 1) Fireworks, 2) Ice cream 3) Popcorn 4) Video games on Dad's phone 5) Browns football.  For Dad, the highlight of the night came after the fireworks ended and Libby turned, with a big smile and said "Thanks, Daddy" and followed that with a kiss.  It doesn't get any better than that...

Libby and Mary with Noah and Maddie

On Thursday, Libby and Mary went to their other favorite place--the zoo--with Dad and Aunt Holly.  It was the normal routine: "zoo bus", elephants, McDonalds, stinky rhinos, giraffes, cotton candy, monkeys, etc.  Then, Libby and Mary spent Friday with Grammie Yandek and Aunt Holly, and they got to help make (and eat) cookies, which is always a fun treat.  Then, on Saturday, it was Sean's 1st Birthday Party.  The girls had a great time eating and playing with everyone.  It really was an eventful and fun week for everyone involved.  While there is still plenty of summer left, school has started (already?!?!?) and the new baby is coming soon, so things are really about to get weird...
