Fun with the Cousins

After school Tierney came to play with the girls.  First they started at the Play Fort and Jillian showed Tierney the tricks on the swing that Brock had showed her yesterday.  One was swinging sideways so you ran into the bushes and the other was swinging standing up.  Yikes!  They did the climbing wall and Jillian only needed some help at the top.  Bridget tried a couple of steps.
The day before Papa had given the girls rides on the lawn tractor and Jillian steered.  Today Tierney had them ride in the wagon behind the tractor and they rode for a long time.  They asked for the bumpy areas as they were the most fun.
Brock and his friend Kyle were here and entertained the girls out front on the basketball court for a long time and even set up the small hoop for them.  Then when Daddy joined them he made a chalk racetrack for Bridget and Jillian to ride their scooters and drew figures inside .  Staying on the track was a challenge for Bridget but Jillian scared us all for how fast she would go, jumping off just before she hit the rocks or car.
Today I let Sophie out of her fenced yard when the girls were playing in the sandbox.  Sophie joined them in the sandbox and proceeded to dig holes all over like she does at the beach.  The girls were burying things for her to find.  Sophie and the girls had lots of fun playing together.  A very busy day all around and I'm sure bedtime was easy.
