What a fun day of connecting with friends Sydney and I had today! We had not one, not two but three play dates planned today and enjoyed every minute of it!
We woke up early this morning and decided to whip up a batch of gingersnap cookies to take with us on our visits. Sydney had great fun helping me roll the cookie dough into balls and then roll the balls in sugar and put them on the cookie sheets.
We headed to our friend Sally's house first for a morning and early lunch together. Our friends Liz and Erin were both there with their newborn babes, it was lovely to have snuggles with them both and to hear how they are making out being Mommas for the second time around!
Sally served us a wonderful lunch, homemade pizza with roasted veggies and goat cheese, homemade macaroni, fruit salad, veggies and homemade cupcakes for dessert. We cracked a bottle of champagne sometime around noon and toasted the new babies and old friendships. I can't tell you how much I love these girls!
From Sally's we headed over to visit with Tracy, Alexis and Avery. Alexis had been dying to have Syd over for a play date and was waiting anxiously in the backyard in her swimsuit with the sprinkler running when we arrived.
The girls had a great time splashing and playing in the water outside and basking in the sun while Tracy and I had a visit.
We ended the day with a trip to Maple Grove Pool to meet up with William and Michelle for an evening swim and to take in the Friday night concert that takes place every Friday night in July in Maple Grove Park. We so enjoyed listening to the music while we swam with the kids and had a picnic dinner together before unleashing the kids at the playground for a while.
What a perfect way to end a summer's day!
