One of the first things we did when we returned home was take a trip to the cheeseboard to try out the new parklet. We had milk and pastries and...

 Lily lost her 8th tooth while eating her cheese roll.

 Fiona and Lily helped me with some baking for a dinner with our friends.

 All dressed up and ready to head out for the day!

 A little home project runway action while we were watching the show.

 Friends reunited after a whole month apart!

 The girls helped me bake this chocolate chip cookie birthday cake for Joey's birthday.

 The three girls went to art camp together the week before school started. Here they are walking home afterwards.

 Here's that lost tooth!

 Some after camp snack time.

 Taking Fiona for a walk.

 Lily and Emma had a sleepover and had fun using make up on each other.

 Here they are all dolled up and shucking some corn for dinner.

 While the girls were at camp, Fiona and I went to hang out with her new class at Claremont Day. We had some carpet time.

 Then we had some play time and Fiona chose to get into the kitchen!

 Treat time!

 Lily made Fiona a pillow for nap time at school. Fiona put it in her "pack pack" with her blankie.

 Here are the girls ready to head over to the Rapoza's for a sleepover with Melina for Lily and dinner for Fiona.

Caydence's Birthday

Before starting our journey home, we headed inland to attend Caydence's first birthday party. Fiona decided to try out Daddy's hat and sunglasses at lunch before the party.

Lily has some shave ice after lunch.

We went to Colton's other cousin's house for the party and played with lots of her toys.

 Fiona loved the horsey in particular.

 She also enjoyed the little sesame street couch/ sleeping bag.

Caydence tried to join Fiona on the couch.

 We *tried* to take a picture with kids and grandkids, but it did NOT work!

Caydence enjoyed her birthday cake!

 The little girls hanging on the couch.

 and then sharing some snacks.

 Here are the girls on the couch.

 Then they were joined by Colton and his cousin Cammi.

 Caydence really went after her birthday cake!

 Here she is with Mommy and Daddy.

 My family :)

Cousin Time

On our last day at the beach, Uncle Stephen, Aunt Natalie, Colton and Caydence came to hang out with us at the beach. Grammy and Grandpa came too. We started the morning playing with blocks in the condo.

Fiona had some cuddle time with Grammy.

The girls :)

 I managed to get all the grandchildren looking at the camera at one time!

We then headed off to the beach. Uncle Stephen set up a little tent for Caydence to nap and Fiona decided to crawl in with Grandpa and hang out.

 There was lots of playtime in the sand.

 Snack time with Daddy.

 Lily and Grammy hung out together.

 Fiona crawled up on Grandpa's lap and went through his shirt pocket where she discovered his glasses.

 Daddy was the master castle builder.

 Fiona moved on to playing with Grandpa's notebook and pen.

 Colton took a nap on Daddy.

 The castle in progress.

 Lily is standing in a hole almost as deep as her whole leg.

 Both legs in!

 Daddy buried her in there!

 Fiona then combined the writing tools with the glasses.

 Daddy made mermaids out of both Aunt Natalie and Lily.

After the beach we went back to the condo and washed all the children.

We ended the night with a yummy Italian dinner before the cousins left.
