Camera Clean Up

I asked Cambry to set her table when we had company over. This is what I got...

...not bad for a two year old

Oh dear, our children are going to be blind by the time they're 5.

I'm not very good at providing new indoor activities for my girls.  But we recently got paint, and that's definitely a successful activity for Cambers. She was enthralled with it for at least 20 minutes.  That's saying something!!


Devin and his assistant changing the oil on the car. They both really love their time together. Cambers kept handing Devin screw drivers and he was so patient with her telling her how he still doesn't need one, but she's doing great finding all of them.  
SIDE NOTE: We poured the used oil into a milk jug and Cambry proudly pronounced it "Chocolate Milk."

Honestly!!  Isn't she adorable??  Yes her skin is as soft as it looks and her rolls and cheeks are as squeezable as they look. She is so delicious.

Another indoor activity we like lately- going to the mall, riding the escalators, sitting in the boat, and looking (but not touching) the animals in the pet store.  Frequently throughout the week, she'll say to me, "Maaaaaaallll." What a cute mall rat she is.

Vienna walking, Cambry helping. These girls bring me laughter and smiles so many times throughout the day.

Museums

It's so hot here, this week we hit the museums. Cambry would only hold her friend's hand when crossing the street to the Natural Science Museum


In the Discovery room, there were so many awesome costumes, but my little munchkin was obsessed with the nappy Opossum costume. She makes nappy look good.

They were so hilarious with the binoculars and magnifying glasses.


Cambers is almost 3 snakes tall. Thanks Savannah for holding her in place.

Vienna was here too!  She was swinging her weight back and forth trying to see everything, making sure she didn't miss one minute of the action.

My little duck

Just playing with animal skulls.  No big deal.

They were loving the iridescent beetles.  

And finally, weaving spider webs.  Cambry apparently is using herself as bait. This is a great museum!  

A few days later we went to the Museum of History.  Veena bug was snuggling her way around the exhibits as well.

This was a pretty informative and well put together museum.  Unfortunately, the only thing we saw was this little train.  Cambry loved pushing the button that made train noises and little men running next to the train.  Yes we spent 25 minutes here, then went back later to spend another 15.

Way to go Private Rappleye

Eno River

Friday night Devin announced that he had a family surprise for us Saturday morning.  Yay for surprises!  So we got in the car Saturday and I realized this must be what kids feel like- no idea where you're going, how long you'll be in the car, and if there will be any cool rocks to pick up once you get there... oh wait that one's just Cambry.  
Eno River was our destination- so amazing to be in nature! this place was INCREDIBLE!

I'm so grateful that our girls love the outdoors.  It made it so much more enjoyable to hear their little giggles and excited noises along the trail

"Wooooaaaaaaahhh!  Tree tall tall tall"

How is it possible that she trips on pavement, but completely mastered a root infested trail?  Love my little off roader.

Apparently these are miracle stairs.  One second your child only has one arm, the next- boom- 2.

Wait are we in Costa Rica?? No still in NC. Such a cool bridge- so scary and wobbly in the middle.

Cambry handled it just fine though and chanted "boing, boing" as she hopped across.



Naturally, we collected handfuls of rocks to throw into the water off the bridge.

We started off with a little friendly toe splashing...



... Then a little wading...

And concluded with a little baby skinny dipping. Good times in nature.
