Fun Day With Mariah

This was the second day that the girls were able to get together and play, and there was no lack of energy for either of them, especially since they didn't have much time when we arrived on Wednesday.

Since Mariah was out of school, and the two girls were together at the same time, mom and I took advantage and drove the girls to Wal-Mart to get their pictures taken together. They came out pretty cute, even though Gracie was less than thrilled to go through the portrait experience again.

Following the girls "photo-op," we took them to the Weenie Stand; a very old hot dog restaurant equipped with revolving barstools and made to order cooks. I think Gracie's favorite part was sitting at the counter and swiveling in the chairs. She and Mariah made a game out of it. I figured that Gracie would take a few bites and I would wrap the left overs up and take them home; but her enormous appetite nixed those plans. I ordered all four of us the "special;" a foot long hotdog, order of fries and a drink. Now, the fries are those old fashioned kind, and you get enough to feed a family of four! Gracie ate 3/4 of the foot long (with bun!), and half of her fries and managed to polish off the lemonade I ordered her. I waited for her to explode, but instead she giggled and continued to twirls around and around in the chair. That's my baby!

The girls played the rest of the afternoon and got in to the pool again. It had been hot all week, so the water was very refreshing.
