Fun with the girls

This is a catch up post!  Before I took my little break for Terri's visit, we had the girls over and I want to share the fun we had.

I needed new pictures of them, so I had them pose in their yard for a few shots.

We went out for ice cream!

So good!

I read a tip about making people skip while taking their picture to get fun action shots, and this was the result.  :)

When it started to get dark, we sat out on the deck and watched fireflies and Ruby even caught some!

The next morning, we made some Magic Water critters.

They had fun picking colors to make them and they turned out cute.

Bob hooked up the old Nintendo that our kids used to play with and we played a few games.

Then we set up tables downstairs and the girls painted beach towels.

They took packing tape and electrical tape and made designs on the towel.  Then they used spray tie dye paint and painted around the tape. When the paint dried, we pulled the tape off and ironed it to heat set it.

Ruby did stripes with summer fruit; pineapples and watermelon and a few R's.

Alaina did stripes, a giant A, waves and The Rookie.

They had lots of fun and were happy with their towels.
