At the yard

We visited Babicka and Grandpa Brad at the yard. SV got to ride in a bunch of fun things while MV slept. SV really enjoyed riding in the transfer truck and seeing how it dumps all of the materials. She also had a bunch of fun cleaning the yard with the front loader and doing a bit of maintenance as well. Then again what kid wouldn't?! After the yard we went home and SV got to watch the fish with Grandpa Brad while MV tried new solid foods with mixed results.

Seeing Dedko Lubo

We went and saw Dedko Lubo including having a short walk to lunch. SV enjoyed seeing him again and playing games together, while MV enjoyed meeting him for the first time. After playing at his house for a while we went around the block for lunch at a local sushi place. It was a lot of fun, and the girls were quite popular.

Evening at Babicka's house

When we got to Babicka's house there were heaps of things to do and explore. From trying new shoes to watching the disco ball. After all that activity dinner and a shower were in order.

Morning at Papi's house

In the morning SV and MV both got down to business. SV got behind the desk to work on her art while MV learned to drive. SV went over to give a bit of instruction before they both went to sit with Papi.

Auntie Rebecca's baby shower and Papi's birthday dinner

Just like our first day in the US our second was full of fun. First we went to Auntie Rebecca's baby shower. At the party we ran into Uncle John and Auntie Maggie, and their kids Violet and Sal. MV and SV liked them, and Uncle John became a favourite straight away.

We went home to Papi's house briefly for a nap. Papi and SV managed to find time to watch Papi's favourite music video at the moment, The Neon Trees' Everybody Talks. Soon after we headed to Grandma CeCe's house for dinner. It was nice to get together to celebrate Papi's birthday. The dinner was great and it was topped off with Papi's favourite, chocolate cake.

Handing out lollies at Eric and Cheryl's

After going trick or treating we went to Eric and Cheryl's house to say hi and help give out lollies. SV really got into it and had lots of fun seeing all of the costumes. It seemed that she had more fun doing that than the actual trick or treating. SV was even kind enough to open not only her presents, but also MV's. MV in the meantime was enjoying meeting Eric and Cheryl, although she got a bit hot and required some sustenance.

First time trick or treating

SV got to go trick or treating for the first time properly. She really liked her costume while MV was indifferent except for the hat and shoes which she despised and constantly tried to pull off. SV had fun going door to door and roaring at people.
