Vacation, week 2.5

Another glorious and leisurely week has gone by. Here's some of how we passed the time:

Sid played 'Doggie in the Rain' while, of course, wearing shorts on her head. (Ears, I'm guessing?)
The lawn got a bonus shot of much needed water, too.

Then, we got to join a little weekend backyard family party. Happy birthday Nikki! Here, two of my best besties, Nikki and Nicky.  

Later, in Naperville:
Florida kids think a hot tub is the perfect pool temperature! Thanks grandpa, grammy and Auntie Manders!

The butts of many a Baleiko have bounced on this original Hippity-Hop, circa 1970-something.

We rounded out the day with a little sidewalk chalk...

...and customized backyard golf course!

After a good night's rest:  a trip to the Children's Garden at the Morton Arboretum with Grama Karen.

Ben spied a bunch of camouflaged bull frogs.

Both kids rocked the tree walk...

...and had the best game ever of hide-and-seek in the maze garden.
The perfect end to another a-maze-ing week.
