Fun in the sun

Sharing a popsicle with his little sister - but only because I made him to.

Lily reclaiming her old baby swing at Philip's house. She couldn't understand that now the new baby gets to use it. "I still fit in here - look mama!"

Finn and Lily both love love love sand. Finn to play with ...

... and Lily thinks it doesn't taste so bad either!

Finn was the Blue Knight at a birthday party today. His little pal Philip turned 3 and we were invited. It's Neil's first day of vacation (he has one week off), so we could all go. It was great fun. Philip's dad had made cardboard shields and swords and matching shirts, plus a cardboard castle. It was a beautiful, sunny day, so we were all out in the (really big) garden. Here is a video of Neil and Finn honing their sword-fighting skills. And in case you wonder what Finn is trying to say to Philip: he is telling him in his (ahem, rudimentary) German that the tractor on the farm next door is really big. :-)
