A week or so ago, the girls' friend Kaia and their mom Lisa introduced us to a new part of Rock Creek Regional Park, behind the Meadowside Nature Center, which includes a stream with a swimming hole. Lisa told me that she and her husband dubbed it "Naked River," since Kaia has had many spontaneous dips in the water in her underwear. On Sunday, we all returned to the Naked River (we accessed the park from Lisa's house this time...her backyard borders on the park) and brought cousin Brynne and Nick along with us, since they were visiting for the day. Caroline did not want to wear her bathing suit there, but as soon as she saw Nora and Kaia swimming in their suits, she wanted to join in the fun. So she stripped down to her skivvies and had a grand old time (as did all of us, although none of us went swimming or skinny dipping). What a find! We had a good day today (although Caroline is still a bit cranky as she recovers from her cold). Caroline had an ice cream party at school (since this is the last week of school) and Caitlin came over to visit this afternoon...Nora came up with the idea that they should make their own salads...hers consisted of spinach, strawberries and apples with a ketchup-soy sauce-sugar dressing (and she ATE it!). Caitlin's had spinach, strawberries, apples, shredded cheese, walnuts and pecans (she passed on Nora's homemade dressing). I took a picture of them eating their masterpieces (and Caroline stuffing her face with shredded cheese). I'm also throwing in a pic of Caroline and Everett playing prince and princess together last week...Everett just rescued Caroline with his trusty rocking horse. Wonder what the two of them will come up with tomorrow, when they have their weekly playdate after gymnastics. Tomorrow is Wacky Wednesday at school for Nora...she gets to wear mismatched clothes to school (is that any different than most days for these kids?!?!)
