AUGUST 2009
Thomas and Sarah had a fantastic day at the cottage with friends, Sophie and Emily. Even though the weather was too chilly for swimming, they still found lots to do.
Going on a scavenger hunt while walking around the block ... Sarah and Emily pretty much decided to start a rock collection and were mighty proud of all the rocks they found on the road.
Sophie and Thomas found almost everything for the scavenger hunt, except a toad, and especially enjoyed climbing up the little cliffs and up on on the big rocks in the forest.
Playing house in the kids' room
Two tired, yet happy, kids.
Thomas thought he was pretty funny wearing Sarah's hat.
If there was a ladder in the area, we knew where to find Sarah (here with Auntie Tina). At one point she managed to climb to the tip top of the ladder all by herself.
At Grandpa and Nana's Sarah was very pleased to be on the tractor all by herself.

Thomas and Sarah had their friends over to play, all of them were ready for snacks and a ride home after two hours at the park!
At the Little Animal Farm, a mere minutes from home, Thomas and Sarah had a great time feeding the animals ... the animals loved having Thomas feed them handfuls of food, but weren't too impressed with Sarah trying to feed them one tiny morsel at a time!
A very happy Thomas on the big green horse and a very timid Sarah on a smaller horse
Sarah on a monkey ... she's making a monkey face too!
On the tractor train ride I was able to get them to sit still long enough to have a little snack
There were a lot of fun wooden structures for them to play on, from planes and ships to tractors and bulldozers!
Starting contest
Back home, Thomas decided to give his "car" a wash in the sprinkler
Talk about being serious!!
Happy Birthday Nana!
Curly locks
While Daddy and Grandpa take a break, Thomas is hard at work hammering nails into his amazing tree house that Grandpa is building for the grandkids!
Notice how Grandpa holds the nail for Thomas :)
Sarah and Perry helping to decorate the tree house with chalk
A visit with Grandpa is just not complete unless Thomas gets to help mow the lawn.
Playing with some new boats in the sink
So happy together!
