We love visiting the Walshes!  

Sophie and Oona had so much fun on the swingset!

What are those animals doing in here?  

Where did Sophie and Oona go?

Our friends the Walshes joined us for a few days in Maine...

 

Mama and Daddy on the beach!

 Oona's a mermaid in the sand!

 Ezra does tricks in the water!

 Of course Noah found some caterpillars...

and showed them to "Gigantic" Noah

 Sophie and Oona are great pals (and a little tired from all that swimming)!

 Brush teeth!

 and stories with Tania

 Meanwhile the big boys played some Monopoly.

So much fun in so little time!

A special birthday message for Sophie's birthday party!Can you guess the theme?

Is that John Lennon?

Lots of fun with our friends!

Oona and Sophie get the giggles with Tim

Pin the periscope on the yellow submarine!

Happy birthday to you....

Yummy cake!

As always, we had tons of fun visiting the Walshes

Oona and Sophie played with their "babies"
and then took a bath!


Finally, it's time for bed, but these two don't seem very tired!

This picture feels like a preview for a sleepover when they're 12 or so...

(despite their pleas, Sophie came home to sleep in her own bed that night)

Strawberry picking with the Walshes wasn't quite as much fun this year due to all the horrid gnats!!

But it was still great to see them and to come home with our bounty!

 

We went apple picking with the Walshes!

Noah and Ezra horsing around!

Attempting to get a picture of all five kids!

As usual, a great time had by all
at the Walshes on a Sunday afternoon!

It was great to meet our new friend Arlo, and get together with his parents,
Tina and Mark, and Jason and Alyssa, and the Walsh clan - lots of fun!

hey, this isn't new york... who are all these kids?

Jason looks somewhat skeptical...

Noah practicing his photography skills - more to come of those...

Noah and Ezra practice their big-brother skills with Sophie

more pictures of everyone over at Tina's blog...

Here Oona, let me show you how this works...

we're going to have to stick together - those boys are trouble!

See what I mean?
