We were excited to hear that our friends were coming up for a visit. Mandy and Mindy met many years ago while they were both working together in Seattle, WA. We both relocated since then and the Farmer's now live in Southern IL while we are up in Chicago. They were able to bring the whole family to hang out for a few days in the city. Unfortunately the weather was really cold so it limited our options for things to do. The big test was for the girls to have their first sleepover. Paige has had her cousin stay over before but never in the same room. The girls talked for a bit and then eventually fell asleep. Paige did her best to keep Ella awake but no luck. They did surprisingly well. The last day they were here we all went to the Children's Museum and had a great time. We hope to go down and visit them next. The really sweet part is that when Paige woke up the next morning, she wanted to know where Ella was. I love how easily little kids can make friends.
The girls first sleepover. Paige in her bed and Ella on the air mattress next to her.
Paige and Ella having a blast together. Ella loved all the new toys to play with and Paige loved showing them all to her.
Paige and Ella painting at the Children's Museum. Probably Paige's favorite part.
They took out a parachute to play with at the Children's Museum. They will bouncing balls on it and running underneath it. Here are Paige and Ella under the parachute. It caused a bit of static electricity and made their hair stands up. Ella wins the prize for the most hair in the air.
Paige grocery shopping at the museum.
Playing in the water in the museum. They had rain coats for the kids to wear to keep them dry. Worked a little bit but they were all pretty wet in the end.
