A warm start to the weekend.

No, we didn't hit the road and drive south for the weekend as the threat of yet another snowstorm approached us. We drove across the isthmus to Olbrich Gardens with Kim, Chad and Neve to see some Peruvian dancers and meander through the steamy, warm, tropical smelling botanical gardens. Neve was the brave one who tried her moves on the dance floor while Bryn and Henry hung back. I think they were all mesmerized by the bare legs and colorful outfits. So were we!


Back at home, Neve loved the horse in the playroom and showed off her tongue twisting...



.....and belly.




Henry had to get in on the tongue sticking too.





We tried to put them all down for a nap so we could chill out and chat but the kiddos had other plans, mainly talking, jumping, laughing and just not sleeping. It was so fun to see my childhood "best friend" and her family. Kim and I were pretty much joined at the hip since we were born 9 days apart and lived kitty corner from each other so it was fun to see our children chat and play together too. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were picking raspberries in her backyard and building forts in mine.
