I am absolutely kicking myself for leaving the memory card to my camera in the laptop at home (not to mention the spare cards I now own... grrrr.) I have only this single pic that Jeff took with his blackberry to share with you.
That said, we had a great weekend! It's a fairly long drive (3-4 hours) to Genoa, NV. But we have wonderful friends there - we haven't been up ALL SUMMER - and this weekend was Candy Dance: which is almost worth the trip all on it's own!
The twins, Leo & Adriano, turned 6 last month. And are still very loving and inclusive toward Liv. We brought up some dollar store foam swords complete with sound effects and lights -- a big hit with the boys as you can imagine. but Liv was all about getting into the sword fight, too! As she ran into the fray, I pulled her aside, suggested she notice how rough the boys play and find her big brave heart and go play (and to tell them "No." and walk away if she wasn't having fun)! She had a great time and came running back all smiles with sword in hand... "I didn't get hurt!" "Of course not! I'm glad you are having fun, brave girl." And so it went! She took her share of tumbles and bonks, jabs and slices, but hung in there and even instigated some sword play. The boys were very good about accomodating their little buddy. They each asked me several times how old Liv and Camila are, and: "I'm six. When will Olivia be six?"
Leo and Carlota were, as usual, gracious hosts, Carlota prepared a fabulous dinner and as their home faces the park, we had a gorgeous European style meal on the terrace complete with a selection of live traditional cowboy music (some yodeling, some George Strait, you know: Candy Dance Style! (which, interestingly enough, did not include any Mexican music.)
This photo is obviously Liv and Mommy going for a horse back ride. We had a gentle (lazy) big ol' blonde named, Rocky. The name Rocky suited him perfectly in Liv's opinion because, as she explained to me: "Its very rocky to ride him, side-to-side, side-to-side: Rocky!"
