Girl's Weekend

a few months ago, my aunt said my cousin would love to get our girlies together. and the ball started rolling. we threw around dates and landed on the perfect weekend. nature trails and fashion shows were planned. it turned out to be a weekend full of perfect mountain weather!

of course everyone got up (a tad later than at home!) but ready to play! so bubbles on the deck at 9am in pjs worked just fine!


it's a bit of a complicated story as to how this sweet little girl is related to us...but we're just going to go with cousin! and isn't she a darling cousin!?! sweet caroline...or as anne perry called her: carolina ;0) four little girls (6, soon to be 5 and two soon to be 4), two mom's, a rierie and a nana and a darling baby boy!
perfect setup for the best girl's weekend!

once we got our little ducks (um...ducklings) in a row and dressed and lunches packed, we ventured to one of our favorite spots: the nature center. and we actually got a (somewhat blurry, sorry ya'll) picture of all the little girlies with Nana! the girls found the stage and decided a play was in order. except every play must have a director! each of the little girls got to direct...
and they all did a fabulous job...but this little director took charge!

and had us all in stitches over her 15 second acts that she'd quickly cut short and instruct the performers that their time was up! sit down!

and onto the next dancer!

even with quite the drill instructor Anne Perry, there was lots of fun and lots of dancing

with a great audience!

and caroline even taught nana how to curtsey!

and this little guy was a trooper! adorable and precious!
and trying really hard to sit up!

...more to come!
