A trip to Whidbey

Tie dye cousins

One beautiful girl!

Swings- we love this playground!

Market babies!

Going in for a smooch!

Maxwelton Beach- one of my favorite places ever!

This post is a bit late but Fiona and I had a great trip to Whidbey. She told Brian when we got home, "I was a good farm girl!" She played hard with her cousins every day... just the reason for the trip. She and Clara were pretty cute together. Fiona knows she is younger and figured she would hold her and baby her. When we got there she told me, "Clara is heavy, I'll hold her hand!" That seemed to work better for them given that Clara weighs more then Fiona!

We both loved all the baby goats on the farm. Fiona was also a big fan of the two litters of kittens running around. She couldn't get enough of the "jumper" (trampoline) and ran over to Aunt Molly's on her own to jump with no hesitation. Granny and I also braved a trip to the city with Fiona to take her to the zoo. The drive was terrible for my small town girl but she loved the animals- the elephant and penguins were the biggest hit.

Fiona had the flu for the first time during our trip which was a big bummer. I was pretty exhausted at that point but she got over it quickly. Really- that was the only down side. Fiona is a trooper when it comes to flying which I so appreciate when flying alone with her. It's fun to think about our next visit- with baby sister along for the ride!
