Cousin fun at Summer's End

Day 2 of school. Mommy came along to learn the routine. Genevieve did not even have time to say good-bye. At pick-up time though, both parents were greeted by very enthusiastic hugs and cries of MoooooMeeee! DaaaaaaaDeeee!

As an end of summer special treat, we planned a trip to The Beach water park (Mason, OH). Gigi did not want to go. She does not like water parks. She does not like to swim. She does not want to be outside. Too bad we tell her, you're going. We picked up cousin Lily. Lily really enjoyed herself at the water park. She tried every ride at Splash Mountain with great enthusiasm. Genevieve - not so much - although afterwards she commented that her favorites were the wave pool and the lazy river.

At bedtime, she recalled the snowman that Daddy built last winter at Grammy's house (Twin Lakes in Montgomery, OH). It was decorated with food items as we had just come from the grocery store. She wantged to know what happened to the food. She suggested that a pig ate the corn, an ostrich ate the peas, and a goat ate the pear. I was surprised she even remembered the snowman.
