We are 3!!

A lot has happened since our last post. The fire department burned the house below us for a training exercise Now we think that firemen START fires instead of put them out! Needless to say we had a front row seat until the smoke got too heavy and we had to move inside. We will share pictures with you.
We celebrated our 3rd birthday quietly. We had pneumonia and were sick for about 2 weeks! But we still had fun. Henry had a Nemo birthday cake and Emma, Princess Aurora or Sleeping Beauty or Briar Rose (as she will tell you).
We have had fun playing outside and going to Anderson Island. Even on rainy days we have great fun there! Grandpa made us a sandbox for our birthday! We went down to the beach and collected all kinds of treasures - rocks (we really like agates), sea glass, crabs, shells, petting starfish and collecting all kinds of creatures. We saw a Killdeer nest - 4 little eggs that look like rocks and when you get too close the mommy Killdeer tries to get you away by pretending to have a broken wing. We also found a seal skeleton. We went to our friend's house on the island and played in the lake. The peddle boat was so much fun! Then Grandpa took us for a ride in the wagon behind the tractor. We love to ride the ferry and plan on spending a lot of time at Anderson Island this summer.
It has been very cool and rainy this past month, but we are always ready for adventure. Today we are going to our favorite park to ride our bikes around the path.
Don't even ask about Henry's haircut - he came back from his daddy's like that.
Hope you're having a fun summer! We are waiting for ours to begin (weather anyway!)
