More of Spring

The girls' first Opening Day parade and game in Cincinnati!

 Reds game in May.



 Ellie came home from school one day and asked me, "Mommy, will you make me cookies for Mother's Day?"  She redeemed herself later by making me graham cracker & peanut butter surprise!

 Mother's Day brunch.

 Clara and her friend taking advantage of one of the few really nice spring days we've had.

The girls still spent more time playing dress-up inside! 

 Donuts with Dad at school - an awesome early Father's Day celebration!



 They sang one of Ellie's old favorites, "Take me out to the ballgame" for the dads.

Keeping score at a bowling birthday party.

 One final fun day downtown.  First stop - The Disney Store!
They're enjoying coloring and a sing-a-long movie.

 The Magic Mirror

 The girls have always talked about "Daddy's train," so we took them on their first short ride just for fun - although I'm not sure that there's anything fun about Chicago's public transportation!

 Ellie thought it was too bumpy!

 Pretty smiles below the Hancock building.


 An art project at the American Girl store.  Luckily for our wallet, she was still more interested in the displays  than the dolls!



  
The girls each chose one thing from the Disney Store.  Ellie in her new fancy Rapunzel nightgown and Clara with her Jasmine doll.

 Found the perfect shades at Target!  One of our frequent stops while Ellie is at school : )

Bubbles with her good friend, Scarlett.

 Popsicles and the park - always a good time with good friends, Caroline and Colin!
