The little town she lives in had a quintessential small-town celebration, with a parade, tug of war, water balloon toss, crazy hat contest, sack race, and fire truck rides. Lucy had fun watching the games, and she and I got to ride in the front of the fire truck!
I love New Hampshire- the trees, the mountains, the fresh smell of the air.
Another highlight was visiting the llama farm nearby. For awhile now, Matt and Lucy and I have been making llamas with our hands (I'll have to take a picture of it- you put your thumb together with your 3rd and 4th fingers for the mouth, and the 2nd finger and pinky stick up for the ears). Our llamas talk to each other, dance to music, nibble food, and (Lucy's favorite, which we do over and over) pretend to sleep on her leg so that she can wake them up. So needless to say, visiting real llamas is quite exciting for us.
We enjoyed this amazing sunset, before catching another great fireworks display.
The next morning we had a real treat- silver dollar pancakes with syrup and raspberries and whipped cream. It was such a nice time to get-away and hang out with my aunt.
Another highlight for me (not pictured) was playing Beatles Rock Band. I think I would play this way too much if I had it at home- so much fun!
In other news, we've been potty training these past few weeks. Lucy really wanted to wear underwear, as she wants to do everything big-girl now. In fact, she's given up her sesame street placemat and instead uses a "big girl" placemat (one of our cloth striped ones). I find it funny that at 2 1/2 she's already over the sesame street placemat.
After 2 weeks of having mornings or afternoons when she would wear nothing on her bum-bum (and getting chocolate chips and gold stars for going potty), we've graduated to underwear (except for naps and nighttime). It's going really well overall, and we're quite proud of how she's catching on.
