We spent Memorial Day weekend at Mandy’s house in San Antonio with the Adams clan and even though we missed the other families from KidFest 2009, we had SOOOO much fun! Ellie was absolutely in heaven as she experienced life as a twin – she and Jackson did everything together all weekend. They each woke up immediately asking where the other was and then spent the rest of the day swimming, playing in (or near, in Ellie’s case) the bounce house, and just generally having a ball! Charlie and Baron were slightly less active, but they did enjoy looking at each other and Charlie loved just watching all of the activity that constantly swirled around the older kiddos. So while I definitely do not think I could manage twins, it was super fun to see Ellie so happy during the day and to hang out with our best friends at the same time!
This is sort of random, but I don't want to forget this sweet story -- Ellie and Jackson were playing in the pool and Jackson decided that he wanted to get in the bounce house. Ellie went over and watched him for a little while (she's still terrified of bounce houses), but then decided she wanted to go back to the pool...and she wanted Jackson to come too. I said that I would play with her and that Jackson would come over later, but this did not satisfy her. She went to the edge of the patio and yelled to Jackson (who was probably 200 yards away) "Jackson, come here. Come here, Jackson. 1. 2. 3. Okay, timeout." She tried it several times, but had no luck!
Ellie and Jackson had a great time pretending to drive Mandy’s ATV/golf cart/thing. Jackson said he was taking Ellie to Stonebriar Mall. ;-)
We definitely have another water baby on our hands – Charlie just loved being in the water, splashing and kicking.
