Ellie: I was a rainbow tiger - and I had a tiger CLAW on my arm! RAWRRRRR!!!!

we went to williamsburg

This weekend we went to Williamsburg. It is in Virginia - it was a long car ride away but it was really fun.
Gracie really liked Colonial Williamsburg. "I bought two bonnets and loved playing the stick and hoop game."

Gracie also really loved getting to hold the new baby chick at Yorktown's farm. "He was really really soft and made teeny tiny chirping noises, which was so so cute."

Ellie's favorite part was the Powhaton Indian Village at Jamestown. "We studied the Eastern Woodlands Indians in school this year, so seeing a real village was so cool. I even got to play the game where you throw corn arrows through a hoop that we read about in school."

We also went to Water Country USA and Busch Gardens. We really liked Busch Gardens - it was really really fun. The rides were so cool and we really loved seeing the animals. Ellie really likes wolves, so seeing the wolf show was neat.  The roller coaster was great - see how much we liked it? We're SCREAMMMMING!

Roller coasters are so fun because you get to scream AS LOUD AS YOU CAN. We're good at screaming!!!

We had such a fun time in Williamsburg and we can't wait to go back!!

WE MET KATY PERRY

On Sunday we got to go to see the Smurf Movie. And Katy Perry was there! She sings our favorite song. Its called Firework.

We saw her walk in the theater, and we waved at her. She was really pretty.

After the movie, we went to the bathroom and when we came out, Katy Perry was there! Mommy took our picture:

Katy was really really nice to us! I told her I really liked her Smurfette dress and she said she liked our dresses too!! She was Smurfette in the movie and she was so funny. Smurfette is our favorite Smurf because she is a girl and has long hair and is funny. We really liked the movie and had so much fun going to New York City!
Our favorite part was when the reporter asked us questions and we got to be on tv!

disclosure from our mom: we got tickets to the movie from suave kids. we were sent suave kids products and they sent us to the movie.

vacation bible school

I LOVE VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL!

My mom is the craft leader. It is really fun having my mom as my teacher. I like the bead crafts the best. I really like crafts, so crafts are my favorite station at VBS.

Me and my mom working on backpacks to send to kids with a Bible in it. Coloring is so fun!

trip to the farm

We went to a farm with our mom that makes Horizon Milk. Our grandma came too. It was really hot and there were lots of flies. So we drank lots of milk and water. But we really likes seeing the cows and animals. We saw cows, ducks, chickens, a cat, and a dog. There was a little baby cow who was so little that he had to eat out of a baby bottle!

Farmer Barry said that the cow was so new that he didn't like people very much and was afraid of them. But he let us pet him. We think that he liked us.

The girl in the pink is our friend Becca. She is super nice and fun to play with. We like to go to her house and ride bikes together.

We had lots of fun and we want to go back to the farm someday!

disclosure: our mom was provided with a gift card to cover gas and tolls, as well as lunch on the farm for our. as always, all opinions are my ours.

fashion friday with grace

I really like the Sharpay Collection at Target. I want Mom to buy me this sparkely shirt. I like it because it is from the new movie Sharpay and I really like High School Musical.

I also really like the new GapKids. Mom showed it to me and it is so cute. I love the skirt with ruffles. It looks like frosting on a cupcake. I love the ruffles because I really love ruffles. I like the ruffles going up and down. I don't have a ruffles skirt that does that.

I picked out this skirt at Old Navy when I went there to get flip-flops. I really like it and I wear it all the time. I think I will wear it tomorrow. I wear a white shirt and my silver flip-flops with it. It looks like its from India. And its twirly.

ocean city

Last week we went to Ocean City for family vacation.

We got hermit crabs! Mine is named July because it has an American flag shell. Gracie's is named Pearl. Colin's is named Crabby.

We found little crabs on the beach. We held one.

(This is Grace holding the crab.)

It was so cool.

This crab did not pinch and it tickled. The other crab we found kept pinching Daddy's thumb. He did not like that.

The pinchy crab kept trying to bury itself in the sand to hide. 

WE LOVE THE BEACH!!
