Spur of the Moment

One Saturday this past month we decided to call up some friends last minute to see if they wanted to roast marshmallows and make s'mores by the river.
The Sunday before we had gone on a walk as a family to this nice little spot and thought it would be perfect for roasting marshmallows.

Cooling off in the cold water.

Apparently Brooklyn wanted to cool of by putting more than just her feet in the water.

Our transportation.

On the weekends there is a steady flow of people floating down the river as you can see in the background.

"Awww!! That feels good!"

Some of us met up beforehand to bike together.  We loaded one baby bike trailer with camping chairs and roasting gear and biked down the greenbelt a bit and found our sandy spot by the river.
The babes liked putting their feet in the water, picking up rocks, and playing in the sand/dirt.  The adults enjoyed the perfect summer evening weather and chatting.
I always think that spur of the moment activities turn out the best, don't you?

Brooklyn's new friend Hallie.  These two play really well together.  Brooklyn acts like the little mom and will help her with her headbands and pacifiers.

Good friends.

The girls came up with a fun game of picking up dirt and putting it on the chair.  It entertained them for awhile.

I go to yoga in the park on Saturday mornings and one particular Saturday I convinced Thomas to ride bikes with me. While I did yoga him and Brooklyn browsed the Saturday market. Afterwards we got some Saturday market treats and then all biked home. Brooklyn fell asleep about five minutes into the ride home which she has never done in her bike trailer! She had her Daddy's phone in one hand playing a Pandora station, and her mama's phone in the other and she was out!

Can't beat the view.

Thomas took Brooklyn to this statue downtown and she liked trying to play marbles with the statue kids.
