Our morning started out at 6:20am. I love mornings :)
We got all cleaned up and dressed, and the girls were looking good. We went on a special operatives, covert mission (check it out: http://www.thesmilestation.com, customer name: Kelly Calupa (nice, right?), access code: LTTT0976118800TAR). The girls rocked my socks, as usual!

A little sampling :) How great are these?!
Then we lathered up with sunscreen, put on our swimmies and headed to the splash park. Again, Courtney was a little hesitant to warm up, but she giggled and had fun with Carter, who was a maniac!

Courtney and Carter, preparing a battle plan of attack!

I blame Andy for this!

Carter wasn't always the instigator (mostly, but not always!). Courtney got a few great buckets of water to the face in on her!

NOW see if you can get her! Courtney's a pretty smart little cupcake!

Carter and Courtney, wet and hot, but had a blast!

After the Science Center, we had "sketty" and relaxed while coloring. Of course we broke out the glitter!

And we jammied ourselves up, brushed teeth and combed hair. We read Carter's pick, "Chicky, Chicky, Chook, Chook" and Courtney's pick "Monster Mess." Currently, the girls are chattering and giggling in bed (it's 8:52 - they'll be asleep in about 2 hours ;) )

Because the heat index was 105 degrees, we figured our best bet was to find some indoor fun. So after lunch (mac and cheese and watermelon!) and power-naps, the girls, Andy and I headed to the Science Center.

Who says girls can't construct? The girls put together a system of gears (with Andy's help) to move the propeller

It's supposed to be an experiment in wind patterns. Carter really only likes it because it blows her all over!

"Bubble Bay," always a hit!

In "Toddler Town," the girls found the texture wall. We pushed all of the bendy-sticks to the silver side, they made body impressions, then checked them out on the other side.

Courtney really liked the snake - eww! Maybe she's a parsel-tongue!

Cave cuties

Courtney and Carter predicting the weather. With the hot temperatures and high humidity, I bet you expected some storms and severe weather. But were you expecting hurricanes in Iowa? I think not ... thank the girls for your safety!

The amazing, super-cool Ball Wall

These are the most precious pictures! LOVE THEM!!! What a fun aunt Kelly you are!!!!! Can you adopt Zane? LOL
Thanks! I was always sure I'd never have nieces, being an only child, so I'm all over being the fun aunt! Send Zane down anytime, just send him with his swimmies :)
