Fun with Friends

We went to uptown Charlotte today for the Blues, Brews and BBQ festival. The Zecks came with us. (They're our friends who just moved to Charlotte from Chicago.) It was fun. There were animals we could feed (even a kangaroo!), an inflatable slide, horses and food! But the highlight of the afternoon was when I took Noah and Chloe to visit the fish fountain by our church. The fish spray water at you! We had a blast and got soaked! Here are some pics of the afternoon.

Yummy! Tasting some peach ice cream. Chloe is riding in the wagon with me.

Showing off my muscles by pulling Chloe and Noah in my wagon (yes, I actually did move them!).

Here we go...playing in the fish fountains!

Look at Daddy showing off. Right after he climbed up there the security guard told him to get down. He's silly!

Excuse me, Daddy. I'm thirsty. Can I have some beer??

This is so fun!

Posed for the camera!

I like to predict when the water will shoot out. Sometimes it squirts me in the face when I'm looking in the hole. :)

Labor Day Friends & First Day of School

We went over to Jack Sumich's house this afternoon to play. We danced, ate pizza and had lots of fun. Here are some pics of the afternoon...

Group photo! This was a tough one to get. From Left: Jack, Peyton, Isabella and me!

I wasn't sure about hugging Bella here.

Cheese! Mom got a pic of me before we left the house.

Here I am playing with my bestest friend Caroline. She's my neighbor and in my class at school.

First day of a new preschool! I'm in the Older Toddler room this year. I did really well this week. It helps that Caroline is in my class. Mommy reminds me of that on our way to school and I get super excited! My teachers told Mommy that Caroline and I played together this week and call out each other's name alot. We're tight! (In fact this morning on my walk with Mommy I kept calling Caroline on my cell phone..."Hello. Caroline. Okay. Goodbye!")

Maddie & The Boxes

I've gotten a few packages in the mail recently. The boxes and packing peanuts have been so fun to play with! Here are some pics!

This was a little box, but I still squeezed myself inside!

It's raining peanuts! This is fun!

Cheese!

Maddie vs. the Cupcake

I had a cupcake at my friend Eleanor's birthday party last weekend. Here is my encounter with the cupcake (the cupcake lost!).

Hello, cupcake. You are yummy.
I don't really know how to eat you, so I'll just bend over and go face first into your icing.

Okay, I'll pick you up now. Mmmm....

Look Mommy & Daddy, almost "all done"!
