Weekend with my Girls

This last weekend Ryan went to Westport with the band for a show at a surfing competition. I was going to go with Lucy and the baby, but we decided not to, a good choice! We had a fun weekend of playing in the warm weather, playing in the sprinkler at Auntie Deb's, me getting to spend some time without the girls, and to top it off a trip to the donut shop (Lucy's idea) on Sunday morning.
On Saturday Lucy wanted to ride her scooter that she has named "Scooty" to the park. The whole way there she was chattering to Scooty, asking it questions and carrying on a conversation with it as I tried to keep her close to the edge of the trail as to not get pummeled by cyclists who can't seem to slow down because they are all trying to impress each other with how fast they can ride...or something. We had a little picnic at the park; Rowan felt the grass on her feet for the first time which was amusing to us, and Lucy played and fed the ducks--or geese rather--that weren't afraid at all of us and kept getting closer and closer which freaked us out :)

What took the blue ribbon though was the kid who forgot to back pedal (brakes) to keep from riding his bike straight into the slough because he got side tracked by some people launching a canoe into the water. He didn't go ride into the water, his bike fell over before that point into some tall grass and sticker bushes. I helped him out of the mess and lifted his bike off him, and was so so glad he didn't fall into the duck poop infested waters.
